GruffaloGriff 1,868 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hello All, Just joined as i am needing advice on my Wehiruch HW 35 air rifle and anyone who seems to know anything about air rifles in on here. Had this brake barrel since i was a kid (obviously used under supervision untill legal age) it has open sights and i was thinking of putting a scope on it for more accurate distance rat & rabbiting. Is it advisable to put a scope on a break barrel? And if so what scope would you advise? Bearing in mind i don't want to spend a fortune but do want something worth putting on the old faithfull. Or should I leave the HW 35 as it is and go for something newer? I quite fancy a multi shot one with an air bottle (excuse me if my terminoligy is not correct) if so what is good value for money? Obviously i would want sensible quality but not break the bank. Think that's enough for a first post. Greatfull of any advice. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BEARINATOR 2,928 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Welcome to the site, any scope will do for a break barrel but dampa mounts are a advantage. Either a fixed zoom or variable and for low light shooting a 40mm front lens or above will do. Have a look at the hawke range of scopes as they do some reasonable priced models Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BEARINATOR 2,928 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 http://www.deben.com/hawke-rifle-scopes/sport-hd.html 3 - 9 x 40 for £49.99 http://www.deben.com/hawke-sports-series/HM5205.html £6.95 for the mounts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GruffaloGriff 1,868 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Cheers guys, just fitted a 3-8 x 50. Never realised how accurate the old HW35 was, allways used open sights, the scope makes the world of difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
