Scope Questions

[AlexHJ 0]

Hi all!

 

New member here looking for some advice on a scope for my Webley Xocet .22 carbine.

 

I've been doing a bit of reading and I'm thinking of getting a Richter Optik from ebay. They seem to be cheap (I'm on a tight budget) but also well made and well recommended by many, I just don't know what size.

 

The 3-9x 50 has some good reviews and is currently my number 1 choice, however for simplicity and cheapness could a fixed zoom be more suitable? I won't be using this regularly and would mainly be shooting at targets and rabbits approx 35 yards away and not at night. Apart from the increased cost, is there any disadvantage to a variable zoom?

 

Regarding mounts, what is known to be a good, solid, reliable and cheap mount?

 

Finally, what do people think of silencers? Again, are there any good, cheap ones out there?

 

Cheers

 

Alex

hi Alex

i had a good Richter Optic 3-9x50 AOE on one of my past hw100's,it served me very well for the amount i paid for it

not sure they still sell them? i mainly used it for hunting and plinking.

 

be careful buying of ebay,as they are usually copies,so i have read!
