Jonjon79 13,357 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Sounds about right mate - I reckon my eyes are slowly getting more fussy Quote Link to post
Rabid 1,936 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Ha, you will never find "the one gun" if your anything like me, always searching for the holy grail, I have been through hundreds of different guns, and can honestly say only one or two were keepers. Think I am lucky with scopes, my eyes are still pretty good, and most reasonable priced scopes work well for me, am pleased you have found one you like and get on with, perhaps you should find some more to fit on the other rifles, I hate changing scopes unless totally necessary. 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 4,941 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 A friend of mine has a couple of Leapers and really rates them. The Swat is a nice size and was going to get one myself but it was not so light and that is what I was trying to get so finished up with a number of Mamba Lites which I really do like.

j j m 6,484 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 the leapers is ok as it goes on 2 very lite falcons one in 20 i in 22 and seems to give the rifles a nice balance,yet ive a 3-9x50 on my and that i have no problem with,just need a nice one for my walnut stocked thumbhole air arms 410k in 22,which should be arriving this week Quote Link to post
The one 8,405 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Same here I've been struggling with the air arms so we got the rest of the guns out swapped over the scope from the falcon and are sighting it the putting the moderator on it then checking it again Quote Link to post
j j m 6,484 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 i think most of uss older ones cant manage very fine recticles Quote Link to post
philpot 4,941 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I know what you mean there jjm, I have my optic wound right out to get it sharp but it is surprising how well I can see the recticle and anything else is just too thick for me now. Strange how well you get used to something. Phil Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,749 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Got a set of Nikko sterlin mount masters on the DS 3,9,50 and i must say its a nice bit of glass and works well on the ds and a set of Nikko laser kings (A GIFT OFF PHILPOT) on the hw100 carbine even better glass both scopes are spot on and would not change them the set ups work well on both rifles but i do have the eye re-leaf turned right up on both as im diabetic and it dose afect my eyes . my fav are the mambas and the SCB ret the old ones not the new fine shit they sell now but alas iv not got a set at the moment The best iv had were the NCSTARS with the SCB ret that i had fitted to the old raider what a set of scopes they were would buy another set in a heart beat but cant find them any where now as they have a new range nout all this swat type scopes now . got a set of cheap chines scopes on the ultra and i must say it dose not miss a beat lol little hunter got them off the range owner for a fiver lol with mounts. and the tx has a set of 3,9,40 hawk vantage sitting on it Just go,s to show you dont have to spend fortunes on glass to make your set up top notch . atvbjimmy :thumbs: Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I was lucky, my eyes seemed to like Hawke glass best, but the Kassnar I have (and got for a tenner including mounts) is good as well! Quote Link to post
