    Whitetail Myth.

    I had one of these scopes they really are a peach! I only had one issue..it did not go up to six mag, very very clear light weight, I have a review of this 'Whitetail' range, the guy puts it in the freezer and straps it to his sky aerial for a few days and it worked perfectly!(Airgun World Aug 94) Why does everyone bang on about the one they sell is the 'Philippines' made version ie real they were all made in the Philippines....I have never ever seen a copy/fake, has anyone???

    Yeh, there were plenty of fakes about in the nineties, but they do say that is the best form of flattery these really are a good scope though, I had one on a r7 which I kept on the top shelf on my van, the strap broke and the rifle done a 5' swan dive which bent the objective metal when I tested for zero it took two clicks of elevation to rectify testament to the proper whitetail and also theobens.
    Ps, if I saw one up for 35 quid nowadays the fella would loose an arm

    When there were extra pies to eat, I avoided them.

    Maybe the quality has improved on this model

    The one I had on the exterior looked fantastic but looking through it the edges of the image were blurred and the cross hairs far too thick.

    A great scope for your youngest's first rifle but lacking in every other aspect for longer range on larger air rifles

    Your right James but how much more money is the Nightforce over the Simmons WTC??
    Personally I prefer my Schmidt&Bender scopes over Nighforce and that's my opinion,but give credit where it's due these little WTC scopes are absolute superb value for money!!

    If they offered this scope with a slightly higher range of magnification with an updated ret it would sell very well indeed I reckon. I have had a few over the years and would agree that they are excellent value for money.

    I've had several of these great little scopes and let them all go to try something with more mag and every time I've regretted it!
    I've just put a wanted add in for another one - and this time I WILL keep it!
