Sage advice, I know there is some out there...somewhere

Post by Camel »

Well, seeing as I have joined the pfft pfft ranks after fighting the good fight to resist for years, I now find that I will be needing some sage advice from all you professional pffters. :lol:

First up is to do with scoping this mighty powerful beast, what kind of scope do I need ? I can only see this contraption being used for playing around informally, maybe shooting a rabbit or two, if any do finally make a comeback after the virus has smashed them again out here. Probably see more use poking holes in the odd mouse and thinning down the sparrow and english black bird population around the back yard.

Is it critical to have a dedicated air rifle scope similar to the old springers needs, or can I use an ordinary scope, I have a couple of spares ?

Just how critical is it to have an adjustable objective or side focus on air rifles ?

Not looking to spend too much. So advise away Oh Wise Ones. :D


Thanks :D

No need for dedicated air scope on what you have (PCP).
AO or Side focus would be useful.
Hawke are pretty good.

Any scope you like that parallaxes to 10 yards should do the trick. Ear protection on before you fire that beasty.

Shit, I never thought of storage :? , I might have to either do some reorganising, pull a few apart, or maybe just stick it in the roof, it should be ok there. :shock: :lol:

If your golf is like my shot gun shooting, it would be a gross waste of time and money me buying a shotty. Oh thats right, you and Waldo have witnessed my prowess, or should that be Lack of Prowess, with a shotgun. :oops:
