Thread: Rimfire scope on 30-30

Good strong scope, with fully multi coated optics. Bult by Light Optics in Japan. Same optical quality as the V9 tested by Tracey Short a while back for Duley's magazine but slightly more rugged.

Thanks for the input guys.

Hawke there is no other I have hawke's on all my air guns they are not to bad on price a 3-9 will be about 200 new maybe less the 6-24 with 30mm tube and all the bells and whistles is under 800 which is bloody good for a scope of that higher quality

Once you've written off two good scopes on a springer, a PCP will start to look attractive

that's why I no longer own a springer pcps are the way to go but then you need a fal to own one which is the advantage of a springer
there is a stupid law that says you don't need a fal for a pcp pistol which is wrong especially when I know of guys guys running 38cal ones at about the same grunt as a 38spl

Hawke scopes are good on springers.

Have a chat with Ron at Youngs Air Guns, he'll put you right. Or Ken at Magair.

You're preaching to the converted on PCPs Rambo.
Levelled a maggie at 86yds yesterday- stone dead. A centrefire wouldn't have killed it any deader or more quickly.
