: Scope Recommendation
: TahoeDan April 29, 2010, 06:34:12 AM

Hello to All.

I am new to this site but have really been enjoying all of the information and posts.

I just recently got a couple of rifles for myself (RWS 34P Pro) and my son (Gamo Recon) for backyard target shooting. Mine came with a scope but the Recon did not so I am now looking to add one.  I am seeking recommendations on a basic fixed scope that's not too expensive.

Thanks in Advance.

Dan

Either of these airgun scopes might suit your needs.  

Not sure about the mounts on the Recon, but usually Leapers 1-piece work pretty well.

I have the Leapers 4x32 Golden Image and love it.  It's about $36? and has lasted for 7000+ shots on my TF-89.  I would highly recommend it.

Hi Dan and Welcome to the GTA:) Tcups has given the info I would recomend also. It is important to get  a scope designed for an airgun and the AO / abilty to focus down to 10yds is an asset on an air rifle. I would also add this scope as another option  http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=OSAR312X44&src=tpCtgOp  , I have one and works great for medium power AG's:) Tony

I like several less expensive scopes...Hawke, there's a Bushnell Banner. I just started (today) as a rep for Leatherwood... Send me a PM.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really like the first one you listed. I am off to do a little research on it.

Thanks to all for the welcome greetings and recommendations. The BSA 4x32 looks like a good option and a priced right.
