As most of you know i used to work with Optima at the Gilnow mill site in Bolton then later on moved to Target Sports of Bolton and i still have quite a few Optimas Scopes myself, We didnt have a lot of scopes to choose from in the early days for air rifles yet today we are inundated with all sorts of scope choices,
No different today though than it was in the early days,
exactly same scopes re-branded for different companies, Hakko, Optima, ASI, Hunter, Lesley Hewitt, Beeman, Etc.
Everyone wanted Japanese optics and they where as dear as the rifle you bought. Double page spreads in AirgunWorld then airgunner would have you making a list of the favorite kits you wanted and drip them up with Lombard Tricity finance for 3 yrs, How things have changed over 50 years and so much the better with so much choice for all of us but the old scopes are still needed to compliment the classic rifles.
