Falcon 10-40x56 Vs Nikko 10-50x60

[J_leader]

Not a review but the scope section seemed the best place to put this.

I did a few hours research on here a couple of nights ago and both get very good reviews and a mate has the Nikko which Im very impressed with.

But...


Is the Nikko really worth the extra £100?

And where could I get a Falcon from as all the online shops seems to be out of stock. Tried emailing NightVisionSupplies as they got mentioned quite a few times during my searching on here but didnt get a reply.

Thanks.

UK quality of Falcon scopes cannot be compared with Nikko Stirling "made in China".
Have You searched on Airgunforhunt?

I think the Falcon's are 'assembled' in China ? Like most things.

Japan / Germany = £1k+

China etc = The rest ?

to balance that, a chap at our club has bought a big nikko from BAR, and despite him thinking (like the rest of us) that the big nikkos had less quality optics (but better rangefinding) than comparison scopes, his is an really nice one...probably as tight resolution as a custom shop...snaps in well also.

it seems the quality varies a little...theres good and there's better ones...but then who's to say that doesnt happen with other scopes. For me the only way of telling is to look through them. I've seen differing image quality and performance in leupolds as well...guess the trick is to look through as many of the possibilities as possible at the ranges you want to use it over. I wouldnt discount any scope unless it had a physical problem or several of the scopes showed the same traits.

They can when you are talking about the Nikko Diamond range which are supposed to have Japanese optics. We are not talking about the Nighteaters here.

Ye, I know about Japanese optics on Nikko. Are Nighteaters of other origin?

They were not the only ones with stock of these scopes.

Hope you got a good price.

150+ tenner postage. Seemed reasonable.

same name, different scope all together.

i'm sure the falcon turrets are fine, otherwise it would be all over here.
