Middle Of The Road Scope

In all honesty and I ain't read the posts above but you can't beat the new Hawke models. Seriously. Ultra fine cross hair too, perfect for the 100 for obvious reasons.

2-7x32 Airmax is the best scope I've owned, and it cost £120. Nuff said.

 

Rez, just curious, why you picked the x32 Airmax. Does it allow enough light in? Most 'scopes people choose these days seem to be x50.

 

Thanks

Ha. Your not the first to ask. To be honest, I don't see the point in uber huge focal lens, it's a bit late 90's early 2000's, when Simmons where bangin on about the 30 minute advantage and all that shit. f**k me, 30 minutes is nothing when your out, it's goes like a snap of ya fanny ticklers. Today's tech with the production etc has cancelled it all out. I like small, tidy equipment, not large in ya face stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I love the old school stuff, the granite finish Simmons are mint but only for nostalgia and I respect for those still shooting the 30/30 duplex ret, as they have range finding down to an art man, like properly. They don't need mil dots, they've shot for so long. Normally you find the duplex 30/30 lads don't watch you tube, don't jump on the latest craze, don't listen to all this mil dot bollox and are more 'purest' with there shooting.

Anyway. I bought one, a 2-7x32 Airmax, and I've ended up with three, two installed and one to be. I do a bit of late night shooting, and I've not had any issues with having a 32 end lens. None. I could indeed get a 50 mil lens, but for the cost and what there both doing I don't see the point.

I thought that having a large heavy scope on my 97 would help my shooting and they have in the past growing up, but the rifle is so bedded in now that I thought I'd go for a light, little neat scope for it, the 2-7 airmax, and it's just added so much to the rifle. It's lighter, more point able, and the scope itself is epic. The new Hawke models have blown me away. The clarity and build for the cost, is quite literally a bargain.

Cough , cough , cough, we will not say any thing about the x50 airmax i sent you cough , cough , cough

 

:thumbs:

Ha. I didn't buy it tough did I Mac, and I have passed it on to a young wheel chair shooter at the club. I hope you don't mind.
