    HW 50 .177 Scope Dilemma ?

    There's always a dilemma isn't there, nothings ever simple ?
    A very nice "Bummed and Blinged" .177 HW 50 has come into my possession but as yet I can't decided on what scope to team it up with ?
    Its got to be smallish and light so I thought about a low mag 32mm objective, maybe with "a bit of zoom" but I'll only be using it for indoor range work up to 30m or so and maybe the odd trip outdoors but not for hunting.
    I looked at 32mm scopes from the Sabre, Vantage, Airmax, Nikon Prostaff, Vortex and Bushnell ranges, the B'nell AR Drop Zone Rimfire scopes really caught my eye but ultimately I seem to be drawn back to the good old Simmons WTC 1.5-5x20 !
    Like many of us, I've had a few of these over the years and its one scope I always seem to return to especially for use on smaller air rifles.

    Any thoughts Guys ?

    Yeah, its the proportions isn't it. You know what the scopes capable of but in my minds eye, I know it'll be RIGHT ?
