It had to be a side focus px or a small objective & I knew the cheek piece of the 77 was low so small objective it was.... It narrowed my search to really only this scope:

It works really nicely, the depth of field isn't epic like my Meopta 4x32 but it does the job and I like the 1/2 moa clicks as it means in .22 the turret takes you out to 85yrds before the end of the first turn. It's parallaxes at 50yrds but is easy to change which I have done & it's pretty clear. It definitely lacks in some aspects but overall for what it's on its ideal & with some car "pinstripe" tape wrapped around the turret over the rimfie markers the 5yrd lines seem to work nicely. I'm going to put a half way between each 5yrd mark to make it more accurate I think but other than that I'm just going to keep rinsing my pellets through it!! Lol

Ps.. they have stopped doing this scope now but they have replaced it with this:

Which looks really interesting, especially with the new moa & mrad reticles as your not restricted to something based on a specific type of gun
Thanks for your fullsome reply Rhys - I may have to have a look at these, not sure about UK availability though as yet, but I've only done a quick Google...

Cheers,
