    Wide angled scope recommendations

    Sadly my Bisley wide angled scope has had its day, I'm looking for recommendations for a good wide angle scope with front AO, need to be mil-dot as going on my .25 Spitfire.

    i have a hawke panorama EV (extended view ?) 3-9x40 AO. not overly long, good optically to my eyes for the moderate price, and a wide field of view.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    The only w/a scope I have if it even is one ? A Hawke 2-7x32 ao. Works for me for what I want it to do.

    Either of; an Airmax, a Panorama, (it's an Airmax but with IR) if you can find one, or an NS Panamax.

    Now a clever option would be to go for a Hawke Vantage 3-9x40ao.

    It doesn't say its wide angle but the stats don't lie.

    Field of view:
    Panorama / Airmax: 12.4-4.5 m/100m
    Vantage: 13-4.2 m/100m

    I have one of the latter and can confirm it is a wide angle scope though not advertised as such.

    To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
