Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

can't go wrong Matty, the old gloss looks neat on period kit, ie 80s hw anything.

I have the 3.5-10x45 version. It's comparable to the Bushnell trophy I have (3-9x40) and the WTC I had (3-9x40). Nothing special but quite nice.
I believe that with the passage of time, the 'ruby' lenses may have become 'rose tinted' to some peoples eyes

I still have them and my opinion is still the same as 2 years ago
Two years after writing the review i still have the scopes.
3-9x40AO on BAM B40 (TX Clone)
4-12x40AO on AA TX200HC MkII
4-12x50AO on Annie 1517 .17HMR
4-12x50AO on BSA Spitfire Carbine SF
The Parker Hale Premier Gold is the same scope in Matte and on the BSA
I have no intentions of selling them as still excellent scopes

Well the 6 x 45 "Ruby" arrived today and the quality is superb
I have put it straight onto my AGT 77K

I have a 3-9x40 Platinum, sitting on a 2007 Rapid we just acquired, that scope is going on my QB78! Too good to get rid of, but not my favoured hunting scope!

Personally, I don't trust any bloke that makes me feel stiff in the morning
I've got a 6 x 45 WA that came with a rifle I bought second hand. I assumed it would be a poor quality scope as it was given away free. HOW WRONG I WAS!
It is fantastic. One of the best scopes I have looked through and up there with scopes 5 times the price.
I plink, therefore I am.

I now own a brand new old stock 4-12x50 Webley platinum! Never been mounted and even has lense cover bra.
Many years ago I went to a local shooting range and see a old boy in the corner with one of the nicest guns I had ever seen! I walked over to see this rifle and there it was!
The webley fx2000 venom!
I loved it and always wanted it! Looked so great with the Parker hale premier gold sitting on top!
So ever since then I've been trying to get a venom fx2000 and a Parker hale premier gold!
I sadly haven't had any luck as last premier I see sold before I had the chance!
But see the Webley platinum pop up on n fort I'll settle for that and WAW!! It's such a beautiful scope!
I still haven't mounted the scope yet as am looking for the right mount to go with it as don't want a flashy Hawke mount n all that type on her as id'e like to keep it still looking classic!
But I would also like to say if anyone has any info on either of the scopes and the venom fx2000 then please post! I am always trying to build my collection and love to collect!
Thankyou guys and hope to hear from you all soon
Thanks again!
Lee..
