Pistol scope
Hello Chaps
I have just got myself a Brocock grand prix in 177,and am very impressed with its performance.I would like to fit a pistol scope ,for some long range target work 30+ yards.Has any one got any recomendations regarding a good pistol scope,i like the bushnell range of rifle scopes,so that may be a good starting point.Any info would be appreciated.
Regards

Hi Les
I have a Simmons 2-6X pistol scope on my HW40 and it's a lovely piece of kit - bought secondhand off here. I doubt I would ever use 6X though - for me 2-3X is a good compromise between a clear view and the downside of magnified shake.
I don't know whether you have ever shot what I think the UKHFT league last year called 'freestyle' - one form of which is cradling the pistol in folded arms close to your eye and using a small rifle scope. If you master this technique (which I haven't!) you can be stunningly accurate due to the stability it offers. Just a thought if you are shooting at 30+yards.
If you want to see it in action, a number of shooters at Lea Valley use Brococks set up this way.

Thanks again
