Scope for PCP long range shooting

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Could someone please advise on the best 16-power scope for shooting out to 150yds?

A few years back I bought a lovely Leapers 8-32 x 56 30mm scope for my PCP air rifle. It’s still working wonderfully! As it turns out it’s been the best of my scopes for long-range PCP air rifle shooting (out to 150yds) as it has 7 mildots either side of the cross-hairs (instead of the usual 5 mildots).

As I now have another new Air Arms PCP, I’m now looking for another new scope for long range air rifle shooting. Any recommendations?

All suggestions most welcome - thanks all.

	Thanks Nunga. I think the NZ Leapers agent has now stopped importing them because of warranty and servicing issues he's experienced (?). And yes thanks, I'm now looking at the Hawke range because of their wonderful range of reticules that I can use/adapt for hold over/under shooting. Thanks again for your advice.

	It's the "Galahad" Magpie - and I aim to add this to my current AA collection (S410 Classic + the S510 Ultimate Sporter)! You too?
