For the older members, do you remember these.
Some had excellent optics, some not so good, the best ones were the Beta 3's.
I have a few and I'm always after others if anyone has any knocking about.

Put on heading 270, assume attack formation
I had a Beta 3 4x32 with the built in spirit level, the optics on it were superb, I do remember they weren't cheap
I still have the Swarovski Habicht 4x32 I bought from Westbury Guns in 1985 for the (then) princely sum of £240
Custom BSA S10 .22 PAX Phoenix Mk 2 .22 Custom Titan Manitou .22 (JB BP) HW77 .22 FWB Sport Mk1 .22 Sharp Ace .22 Crossman 600 .22 Berretta 92 .20 Desert Eagle .177
I've got two, one is on top of my FWB 300, thinks its a 2-7 x 32 AOWA or something like that, think the one just lying wrapped up is a 4 x 32 WA, I will have a look tonight, its in nice condition also.
Nice things happen to nice people.
I have had a few from the Vista scope range through to the Beta 3 and even the latter Churchill range.....I would love to find another 4x18x40 again still regret selling it.....I still have a boxed never used 4x40 with the sniper reticle, way ahead of its time .....
Got a couple myself. Lovely scopes. Back in the day the Beta 3 3-9 x 42 was £177 and a HW80 was £115. No wonder they didn't sell many 3-9's Mach 1.5
Airgun World July 1988. Beta 3 4 x32 £129. 6 x42 £143. 3-9 x 42 £217. HW80 / K £119. Mach 1.5
One of my mates had a very similar 3-9 scope to that on his rimfire. I had a couple of vista scopes, I sold one 4x40 along with an old Webley Vulcan last year. The optics still looked pretty good, with a very wide angle and noticeably less fussy about precise eye relief. These were made in Japan I think?
