Whats The Best Scope Money No Object????

[Stingrey 0]

If money isn't an issue and I mean less than £400 given the fact that will cover most scopes from the major Air Rifle players, what scope is the best for hunting? Consideration needs to include the reticle magnification etc.

Hello stingray

I got a Hawke HD 3-9x40 today and a one piece mount.

It is a mil dot with illuminated cross hair in red and green.

I will be taking it to the long shed for fine tuning and I will let you know how I get on.

This is a value scope so you would have money left over.

Please note that I am not an expert but there will be one along shortly.

Sorry stingray I have seen in you other post that you already have a Hawke HD.

The hd was recommended to me as a go to choice of springer scope that was good for the money but when I was looking myself I noticed Bushnell Rain guard HD and I was going to spend what it takes to get a good sight but the gunsmith said he only recommends what he would buy and he uses the same scope as the one I bought. H e could have easy had me in the 250 mark but felt sure I would get good use out of them for hunting even in low light. The bottom line was he would sell me what ever I wanted but if I wanted a

recommendation then that was it.

And you will keep going back to your rfd because he treats you well!! and doesnt just take your money.

Ive had all the top make scopes,sick of wasting money ive now put a simple 4x40 on my tx200 taking just as much quarry now as I did with the expensive scopes

If no mill dots are required a whitetail classic is amazing. I had second hand wtc on a brand new tx 200 hc in 2001 and with almost daily use never touched zero for 18 months. Still got in on my fac fac rws excalibure.

Simmons crap

Nikko Sterling crap

Hawke, OK scopes, but don`t expect much at the high mags.

Tasco crap

MTC same as Hawke.

 

 

Old Japanese Tasco worth every penny you pay for it, absolutely fantastic glass.

 

For £400, Meopta, Doctor, Leupold, Zeiss or Swarovski second hand if need be.

[tomburras 2,721]

Yes agree on the newer Simmons but the wtc range is great in my opinion anyway.

 

Just realised on eBay these are now under £100 well under £400 so for their price their great

There's no 'best scope for the money' it's the one that best suits your eyes. Personally I'd be happy with a Light Stream 4.5-14x44.
