Jonjon79 13,321 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 A few weeks back, Si was down this way with his missus - I think they were spending the night in Cheltenham or something. Anyway, Si popped into my work and surprised me with this Philippines Simmonds Whitetail Classic 3.5-10x50 Due to being busy and short staffed at work, I've only managed to get it on the Mercury Challenger today. It's a cracking scope - I can't wait to get out and get a good session with it. Now, both of my retro springers have nice scopes with a good, simple duplex reticle Cheers Si, Much appreciated mate 4 1 Quote Link to post

Deker 3,450 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) After playing with various cheap scopes I eventually gave up and bought one of these about 20 years ago for my air rifle, it was £200 at the time, went up to £210 shortly after that and seemingly stayed at that price for years. Personally, I have to say they are still excellent VFM, lord knows what happened, but they disappeared years back, (copies turned up quickly) only to re-appear again a few years ago. I only got shot of mine because of the lack of Parallax adjustment...my eyes are not what they were. Great scopes! Edited August 1, 2018 by Deker 3 Quote Link to post
