    From my own experience on these anyway -
    Thank's mate, I have never owned a WTC but those Bushnells are sweet I must agree.


    Kindest regards

    Everyones eyes are different, the small WTC is fine to my eyes. What would be good is a Bushnell, Nikon or Vortex 2-7x32 with a mil dot ret.

    Surely the scope manufacturers will cotton on to this soon. I couldn't agree more.

    Not that anyone needs milldots to hunt with an airgun at the short ranges involved, but I'm sure it would make some extra dough for the manufacturers , so they will even if it's just for Mad Milldot itus .......

    Couldn't agree more - I've always been amazed that Simmons hasn't turned out a mil-dot WTC!

    In my eyes the Simmons WTC range was over priced and not all they were cracked up to be, my Bushnell Trophy was brighter than my old WTC 3.5-10x50 and my Legend leaves it for dead, I'm seriously thinking of getting a Nikon next.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Lightbulb

    Wot about
    WWW.riflecraft.co.uk

    Vortex Crosfire 2-7x32 with dead hold bdc ret for £96 + vat
    Or
    Vortex Dimondback 2-7x35 (yes 35!) With dead hold bdc ret fo4 £144 + vat

    Let me explain.., I have the old style prostaff 4x32 and its awesome, sweet simple & effective., but every now and then I like to plink out to 75 - 100 yrds., and the hold over on my .22 evo running 11ftlbs is quite a lot at that distance, add a st plex ret into the mix and your really guessing., and 4x mag isn't quite enough., so I thought the prostaff 2-7x32 with there bdc ret would be great.., can I find one in this country? NO! so I looked at the redfield: way overpriced for something only as Good as a Nikon, leup: the same & no hold over points, lots of cheapish options but no quality glass
    Then I saw the vortex's on rifle craft..,
    Any thoughts?
