    Question for Gary

    Are these scopes for recoilless rifles only?
    A member of staff at a local retailer is telling me the opposite.
    I'm very impressed by the scope, but would like to know it's intended application before I splash the cash.

    Regards
    Andy

    Hi Andy
    You have 1/2" eye relief, if you use specs it's deffo recoilless, but if you don't then you have 1/2" eye relief so something like a .223 should be OK according to Baz.

    Yes, there's a fast focus adjustment on the eyepiece.

    See here and put your mouse over the eyepiece close-up.

    just got hold of a connect with amd ret, mounted on my airwolf am i impressed
    not half
    got this one second hand and still have one reserved with mtc as and when they arrived might get the scb ret in that one
    going to give hft a go with it

    this scope seems lighter than normal scopes when mounted but this may be due the were the scope has to be mounted thus putting the weight into the shoulder
    but so far very impressed

    I picked one of these up in The Airgun Centre, Rayleigh on Monday. A chap was just having one fitted to his HW100 so I thought I'd better grab one before stock ran out. Tony Belas happened to be in the shop, so I spent more time chatting to him than ogling the scope. Once I'd got home and removed it from its compact box (thankfully, not a Hawke-style burial casket!), I set about finding a rifle to attach it to. I have plenty of 30mm mounts but the BKL were much too high. Most mount manufacturers seem to expect their 30mm mounts to accommodate scopes with monster objectives, so smaller scopes tend to be perched up too high. I have a similar problem with the Leupold MR/T. Experiments so far indicate that I'm going to need much lower mounts to avoid a rick in the neck or to fit the scope on a rifle with an adjustable cheek piece, preferably one that incorporates lateral adjustment, like the Rapid Tactical.
