[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 65957, member: 3048"] Jeff, Thanks for the info. Before i knew any better the sight of large objective scopes on rifles used to grab my attention [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img], now that i am more educated, i cringe at the pages of glossy pictures of large objective "cheap" scopes, aimed primarily at the majority of air rifle shooters, who are as of yet uneducated in the finer points of quality optics. When i first started rifle shooting back in 1997 (after the British government banned our pistols)i too fell into that trap but a squint through a fellow shooters 6.5-20x40 Leupold showed me how bad the optics were on my cheapo scope. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] so i quickly went out and bought a Leupold and have not looked back since. Alas, a shooting buddy of mine still tops his rifles with cheap scopes, his excuse being: Quality optics are not needed on sporting rifles when these ones will do the job. I try to convert him but he is a firm advocate of the term "It will do the job", which also extends to his handloading techniques but thats another storey.
