    Another 2-7x32/33 scope thread!

    I can't find a Redfield Revolution for sale, I have a Hawke Airmax but its ret is a bit fussy, so I am on the hunt for a decent one for under £200. It has to be multi aimpoints as it's for a .22 pcp, but a few dots are better than a whole rake of lines, dots, crosses and hashtags!

    I have seen the Bushnell AR/22 rimfire scope that looks like it would fit the bill. I had an AR/223 throw down a few years back which was optically excellent, but not suited to airgun use, the rimfire one could be "the one!"

    Ive had the Redfield and the Bushnell. Sold them both. I've now got the Vortex Diamondback 2-8x32. BDC reticule. Got them on my air rifles and rimmys and not felt the need to look for anything else. Excellent scopes and about your price range.
    Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're probably right.

    I would love an EFR, but the duplex ret makes it a non starter

    Still for sale new on the bay. However, the side wheel parallax version is about £300 new. Hold out for a s/h one, usually about £200. They do come up from time to time here and on the bay.
    Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're probably right.

    The 2-8x32 with sidewheel px would be worth a go, but the 2-7x35 is just bigger with less features. This gun will probably be targets only, so any advantage is needed.

    Leupold EFR 3-9x33, or 2-7x33, or 2-7x28. And learn to aim off? .

    There was a guy selling them on the Bay of Pigs from somewhere Europe. I bought a 2~7x32 Saber from JSR for £37.00. Does the job but it is no Diamondback or Lupo EFR.

    the bushnell sportsman 3-9x32 is quite cheap and a great image for money IMHO. It's duplex, but it's a tight duplex, so that's two useful aimpoints...
    In fact you could use the very bottom of the image as a third holdover point.. with a .22, that might get you out to 35 yards, way further than you'd ever hit anything with your stealth anyways
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
