    Something good in low light preferably, I have a Burris fullfield II 6.5-20x50 and it's lovely for lamping and plinking. The bro has a bushnell 6500 2.5-16x50 and it's equally as good. Smidt and Bender 8x56 is also a dime for foxing;)

    Whats your budget??
    Important question, forgot that one:D Was looking through a leapers today and was very impressed with it.

    €200ish, so that rules out S+B would like something that suits lamping and that will also hold zero, had tasco's before on .22 pure sh1t.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,668 ✭✭✭kay 9


    The leapers I seen today was 250 and had very good clarity. Flip up covers and illum. ret. You could get a very good s/h for the 200 mark. There is deals to be had.

    perfect for the hornet and only €240 shipped. take a look at their bargain section too...

    Should have started with " which scope would you put on a hornet ?", then work out my budget.

    I would go for one of these , good glass, plenty of magnification for the hornet and a foolproof illuminated reticle for lamping. Foolproof as in no batteries to go flat at the wrong time.
    Price is pretty good as well and if you go to a .223 the scope will still do the job.

    I've a Leupold VX1 4-12 x 40 if your interested. Cost me €300 a few months ago. Used on a .22lr. Excellent scope. Selling for €200 if your interested.

    Opticsplanet and found one on Amazon $299 inc postage at todays rate is approx €214 , opticsplanet was plus postage USPS delivery.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,795 ✭✭✭fish slapped


    AFAIK opticsplanet won't deliver to Ireland!!

    They didn't when I asked anyway and that's why I got it off Opticswarehouse.

    BUT I'm not sure they deliver here anymore either :(

    I told you what I paid and where I got it and what I want for it. I wasn't trying to screw you ;)

    As I said if you can get it cheaper fair dues to you just let us know where ;)

    So OP if you change your mind you know where I am and I will deliver.

    I never said you were trying to Screw anyone , that is why i pm'd you and did not post, as i did not and would not try to spoil anyones sale.

    Sure its a great scope but does the warranty transfer to a second owner.

    Big "10-4" good buddy, over and out.

    As I never said you did ;) I just pointed out the facts, in case you didn't realise what they were :D

    Once you own it they don't question where it came from. They quarantee the scope not the owner.

    It is a great scope. The only reason I'm selling it is I have one with a higher magnification on my .22lr as it will be doing more target shooting than hunting for the forseeable future.[/QUOTE]
