    Hi

    I have an Optima Supermoonlighter on my Air Arms Camargue & an Optima Gamekeeper on my Sussex Armoury AR7. Both great scopes I prefer the Gamekeeper and both scopes suits the rifles perfectly.

    Regards

    I had a super moonlighter on an 80 in the 80's and I needed a step ladder to use it but I was only little at the time . I recently bought a BSA stutzen that came with a 4x32 optima on it and was pleasantly surprised at its quality. I even hit the bucket with it, but only once

    Blimey, that’s a long way to chuck an Airsporter.

    The Gamekeeper was for its size very expensive. Optically it should have superior glass for that price. I believe Beeman ordered some too for the US market. There were some "Blue Ribbon" clones done of this scope a few years back.

    The Supermoonlighter is a bit of a whopper, which is why I prefer the standard Moonlighter.

    Hi

    Yes the Supermoonlighter is a whooper and wouldn’t mind getting a Moonlighter too.

    With the Gamekeeper I think the glass is fine and can get a really good sight picture. I think the size and look of it in the early days put the price up on these. And they just 'sit' so right on the AR7/Combats.
