Hunting scope under £250

[tomgun]

Hello all I'm after some recommendations for a hunting scope under £250 this will be going on my HW97K . Was thinking of the MTC mamba lite 3-12 ×42 ? What say you guys?
Thanks Tom.

Scope choices are pretty subjective, as are the magnifications shooters use.

The 97's no lightweight so I'd opt for the lightest scope possible to aid standing shots.

The scopes sat on my hunting rifles are (in no particular order of preference):

Hawke Airmax 2-7x32 AO
MTC Genesis Ultralite 3-9x40
Leupold VX Freedom 3-9x40
The smaller Airmax, is incidentally lighter than the other 2 with the Leupold being the lightest

I only shoot on 5x mag so all have good clarity and depth of field

A scope with good optics for dusk n dawn shooting should be your first criteria.

Used Leupold is worth a look. Eg the 3-9x32 AO EFR.

I have a hawke airmax 3-9 x,40ao amx at a very good price that would be suitable...also will save you some money...it's listed in the sales section.

Airmax 2-7 x32 AO.
Bushnell Legend 5-15x40...old ,but very good.

Excellent scope for my HW95. https://us.hawkeoptics.com/airmax-30...44-amx-ir.html

Yep, if it suits your eye & you like the ret it's probably as good as any other, personally I don't like either.

There are dozens if not hundreds of scopes that would work, you know what you want/need, the rest of us can only guess.

I look at Optisan first then Hawke because they tend to suit me.

Have a look at Vector Optics. I have just bought their Veyron 4-16x44 FFP which is compact, excellent build quality, 30mm tube, side focus, lift and lock turrets, honeycomb sunshade and your choice of dovetail or weaver mounts for £13.50, they supply medium and high in the box. Optics Warehouse is doing it for £179.95 I presume excluding mounts. There are many others to choose from on the Vector Optics site.

Cheers, Phil

£13.50? .atb mick

I would buy used at that range, but, something like a Burris, Leopold, Bausch and Lomb, Weaver Grand Slam are underrated or Bushnell Elite 4200.
