valboskie 39 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 If its just for garden plinking all he needs is a 4x32 scope or similar. Check out the sales section on this forum and you will pick something up. Or try the bay you will find a few on there. You can buy a brand new nikko sterling one for £25. I hope this helps Cheers David Quote Link to post
