    Heads Up - Scope Deals

    Sportsman Gun Centre are doing a variety of Minox ZL3 scopes at £133 plus delivery. RRP apparently is £400.

    I ordered a ZL3 2-7x35 for my new Zbroia Hortitsia and am impressed.

    I've now ordered a 4-12x40 for the new .243

    Yes, I got a couple of the 2-7's a few weeks ago and just ordered 3-9 and a 4-12. I am mightily impressed with the quality and at those prices they are a bargain.

    I saw these, but wondered about the parallax setting. How is yours on an air rifle?

    They are parallaxed to 91.4 yards apparently! On 2x mine focuses to literally 1 yard!

    On my garden range which is 20 yards or thereabouts I can get a clear focus, (for my eyes at any rate!) at about 4 mag. If I back myself up into the kitchen and shoot from there at 25 yards or so, clarity is the same but at about 5 mag. I always sight concentric down the tube if you know what I mean so point of aim does not shift.

    That said; though I have no intention to do it they do seem like they could be re focused if needed.

    To look at, they look a hell of a lot like the Nikko Panamax and Hawk Vantage Max scopes, I wonder if they are made in the same factory?

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
