andyfr1968 772 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi, folks. After asking on here a little while ago about scopes that hopefully won't fall to bits after five minutes on a springer (Hawke.....) some of you mentioned Vortex and after doing a bit more research, I really like the look of them but I'm struggling to find a UK dealer. Any help would be great. Cheers. Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,586 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 It was a 4-16x50 MAP PRO Kurt. Map-6 reticle type. Unused and brand new. I was shooting with him when it went! It wouldn't hold zero anymore. Quote Link to post

It wouldn't hold zero anymore. Very poor indeed. Just sold my MTC Viper 4-16x50 and purchased an Hawke Sidewinder 30 4-16x50 (should be arriving today) - Hope that doesn't go down the same route Quote Link to post

woodcote1 88 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Vortex Diamondback 2-7x35 Rimfire will hopefully be on my rifle soon. What model interests you Andy? Quote Link to post

Same as you, mate. Or maybe the 3-9x40. I really like the look of their BDC ret. Nice and simple with clear uncluttered aim points. Quote Link to post

woodcote1 88 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Go have a look and let us know what you think. I like the Idea of the rimfire as the parallax is set @50 yards. I wonder how easy the others would be to re parallax as i also like the bdc ret . Quote Link to post
