An "All Round" Air Rifle Scope, Spring or PCP ?

[Blackrider]

Nikon EFR 3-9x

I'm currently using a 3-9x40ao EFR on a Brum Longbow and I rate it although a mil-dot reticle would be a plus I think.
Nice bright disc though !

Quite like the Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40AO Dead Hold BDC Reticle that Les had mounted on one of his air rifles at the Spring Bashes although these are about £50 new above my budgetery figure.

i used to swap between the tasco saphyre and the simmons deer hunter. no difference. but for some reason i prefered the tasco. suppose it was the light shade it had.
that simmons could catch some light.

Falcon M18, side focus, bomb proof internals which pass every box test I have done, reasonable lenses and a good reticle if you want to holdover or a superb top turret if you dial, all for £200!

Now that ticks a few boxes !
Worth a bit more investigation I think !

What are they like with a WDV night vision add on?

I have a few Falcon scopes, 2x T50's, a 5-25x50 and the M18, I will be buying another two M18's for the two rifles I have that need scopes when I finish them (Webley Tomahawk & Hw97K) The 5-25 is quite a heavy scope for the mag but that's because they are very robustly built, but in the M18 it's pretty much spot on for £200!

Have you seen my Falcon Menace in sales Jon ? possibly maybe to big for your needs, but.......

I bought one of these a couple of months ago, the first focal plane is very good, and the lense let's in a lot of light you can shoot right up until its properly dark. Only criticism a bit wieghty and no illuminated ret. Top quality kit.

I asked this same question a few months ago and was supplied with the same excellent recommendations (apart from MTC), I ended up with a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x50, which I have to admit is an excellent scope for what I payed for it secondhand off here, I wanted something that would sit on my Theoben Sirocco 2000 and only had a certain amount of clearance because of the fixed scope mounts, the Nikon fits with just a small amount of room before it would hit the main body (it's that close I can't get the lens cap on), I also love Bushnells and about six years ago picked up a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 (after reading how good they are) to replace my Legend but the Legend just had the edge, so sold the Nikon on to fund another project (like we do), I haven't tested it yet in the field as I've not had time to get out but I'm hoping it is just as good as the Legend (not that it's replacing it this time as the Legend is permanently mated to my Prosport) as it has the 50 front lens that should put it on a par, a no fuss scope with no silly extras I don't really need and hopefully the nice bright lenses I'm going to need.

How "tight" are the clicks on the top turret, can they lets say, be easily "twiddled" or accidentally "knocked out of zero" ?

I have a 4X16X42 Diamond Back HP SF BDC. The clarity of this scope is in a different league to my usual Sidewinder and Viper and all that. They have gone up a bit in price but considering the quality one gets it is reasonable.

You'll be needing to spend £400 to do better ...
