    Question Scope questions

    I was thinking of getting a new scope and quite fancy the nikko stirling 6-24x42 sidewheel sniper.
    Can anyone tell me what minimum distance this will focus down to, and can you get sun shades for this scope.

    Sorry, but I do remember it being a heavy bu@@er though !
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Hi Andyman,

    A while back I had both the 10-50x60 and the 6-24x42 Nikko Stirlings to review for the magazine for which I write.

    The 6-24 is a very nice little scope, basically a more reasonably proportioned varation of the 10-50. In terms of minimum focal distance it came own to just under 10 yards at full mag on my test sample. Unfortunately I do not think there is a sunshade available, also the test scope did not seem to have threads on the objective lens housing to allow fitting of a shade.

    The article has not yet been published in the UK, but have a look at this link: www.airrifle.co.za/Reviews/nikkoDiamond.htm

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Dale

    Thats just made my mind up for me the focal distance is fine for me, and if i find i do need a sun shade then maybe one of debens new rubber pull over sunshades may do the trick.
