    Question Apollo Scopes?

    I have recently (this morning) swapped my redundant Hawke Sport HD 3-9x40 for an Apollo Silver Star 4x40(with Gloss finish). Are they any good? Roughly how old is it? And does anyone know roghly how much it is worth? No crimping, just a little scratch from the mounts and a small mark on one of the turret caps.

    Cheers,
    Ali.

    If I remember Apollo used a numbered star rating - I had a 5 star 3-9x40 which was very good.

    They were out and about in the early 90's and I think were distributed by Gunmark.

    Quality and price wise I would draw comparison with a similarly spec'd Nikko Sterling from the same era.(not a lot of money but reasonable optics)

    No visible stars on mine? Mine can't be that bad can it?

    Looks the dogs danglies on my Beeza though, and better optical quality than the Hawke to boot. So I haven't been done Shirleykins.
