AGS scopes

[aaronpigeonplucker 32]

i think i might buy a 3-9x40 AGS saphire dupplex scope and wanted to know if there any good.

cheers, Aaron

For the price, there's nothing wrong with them. Good value.

Have a look at JSR scopes as well.

[aaronpigeonplucker 32]

are they better than an SMK 4x40 scope?

[andyfr1968 772]

Probably. You need to remember that with most of the cheaper scopes that have someones company name (AGS, SMK, EB, Viking, whatever) are all made in China in pretty much the same factories.

Don't be tempted by some of the 'bargins' from ebay though. So long as you stick with a real retailer, you should be ok.

this may sound like a stupid question but is 3-9x40 a higher magnifaction than 4 x40? (i think it probably is but i just wnated to make sure!)

[andyfr1968 772]

The first number(s) is the mag, the second is the front lense size in mm. So, your 4x40 has a 4 mag and a 40mm objective lense. The 3-9x40 has a zoom magnification of between 3 and 9 and again has a 40mm lense.

[aaronpigeonplucker 32]

so it is a higher mag?

[andyfr1968 772]

Er. Yes. It would be if you turn the zoom up higher than 4.

ags and smk are very similar in quality.

 

jsr ( j s ramsbottom) scopes are superb quality ( for the money)

 

another make worth looking at are richter optik i have three of these 3- 9 x 40 mil dot iluminated ret they are around the 45 - 50 quid mark.

 

get the best you can afford is the best advice.

 

hope that helps mate

 

cheers

ags made in the same factory as simmons so ive bin told most scopes are and the companys that make them will put your name on the scope if you order a thousand of each size sean3515 right the ritcher optic scopes are great value for money and worth a took at.

I had an AGS tactical and was not very impressed, it didnt hold zero at all. I now have a Bushnell Trophy which is very good. You can buy a Bushnell Sportsman for under 50 pounds from JS Ramsbottom which is probly better value for money.
