Scope Suggestions Please

[Rabid 1,936]

Am looking for the ideal scope to fit on the cricket, currently have a taipan sat atop, but really it's too big, bulky and heavy and doesn't compliment the rifle at all.

 

This is for hunting and paper punching, and will be shooting at some good distances, I was considering the viper connect, but what else is out there worth looking at.

I like the mamba lite Rob.

My pal said a mate of his uses the Hawke 3-7X32 on all his guns. Even the C/F ones and rates them highly. Not overly expensive either

Marky71 uses a Mamba on his to good effect

Viper connect is a cracking scope but not for me

 

if i got one it would have to be a day scope as i find the ret to be to fine for my eyes and i find it is not that visible at night with the lamp but thats just me rabid as im diabetic and it affects my eyes,

 

but in saying that its mint for me in day light (iv not got one but have used them) glass is Cristal clear and its not a heavy scope nice and light

Mamba lite, hadn't thought about that one, hmm, good suggestion, thanks.

 

Don't particularly want to go with hawke

Interesting, I will be doing a lot of lamping so reticule will be an important choice. Certainly need to keep it light.

 

Diabetes or not, we're all getting older, eyes deteriorate, I think I am ok at the mo, but how long for ?

Mambas on most of mine Rabid

 

Lovely hunting scope/ reticule (xmas tree reticule)

I've got a mamba lite sat in my wardrobe at home. It's going on my rapid when I get home

Cracking scopes

Don't think they're made any longer either

Seen them go for silly money too

I'd second blatters fist post. I have 2-7x32 airmaxs on 3 of mine shooters. I can't say a bad word about them really. Apart from me new 98, I'm gonna try the panorama 2-7. Don't know why, peaked through one at the show and it seemed well. No AO, but it looked paralaxed enough to get things within 20 yards.

Airmax for me mambas are all too fussy , to many lines going on

I paid £150 for a 4-16 x 50 mamba second hand over a year ago from one of the lads on here and I would pay again tomorrow.

I`ve now shot a " hill side" of vermin with this particular scope and also with the other Mambas.

 

Each to their own I suppose

I put mine up for sale not long ago but I'm glad is didn't sell. It's defo going on the rapid instead of the Simmons

I've had all sorts rabid but the three rifles I've got now all have hawke's on them apart from the cat that swaps between a panorama 3x9x40 and the photon!

the panorama is a good half ml dot scope and the ir is ace no bluing on full power and clear as
