Scope came in record time from optics nz. Less than 24hours, obviously optics nz has made a deal with nz post and the devil. Unheard of in all my dealings to get it rural delivary in that time espially on standard delivary!
The scope box box came wrapped in a thin black plastic skin, looked water proof as but bit concerned that there was no noticable padding. Opened the box and was relieved to see it was well packed protected both ends on top and lying in bed of polystyrene packing peanuts, as well as surrounded by them. The scope. Looks well made. Ao and zoom are smooth to movement have a good feel to them. Zoom has a grub screw I assume for locking to one set zoom. ( don't quote me on that) The ao goes from 10 yards to infinity. Pic below shows the spacing from 10 to 25 yards then 25 to infinity. Lot of focual adjustment from 10 to 25 yards which will come into its own on birds. Turruts mrad. Retical is busy with its mildot set up. Crosshairs thicker than hawk I have which will be a bonus when using the red light as the hawk cross hairs just disappear. Very usable retical despite the busyness. No pics as camera wouldn't focus down sight. At 75m it had a crisp picture and I was stoked. Going through the magnification and ao at variouus distances the picture was clear and crisp. Used sport match mounts and had a .3° between that, and barrel set at level. Might have to shim it will see. Windage was smack on at 0°. So far it looks like a winner. Put it through its paces tomorrow if wind stops. Have a look through it tonight and see how well it gathers light with a torch. Add more as I try it out. Anyone else using one who wants to throw thier review up please feel free to add to this thread or any comments. More to come. |

I decided on a pile of tree branches, so I could define definition as light faded. Also a dull colour.
81m ranged. The scope pulled useful definition at 9x till way after eyes were seeing just a dark shape. Torch on red light turned the retical into a thickish crosshair as the mil dot markings merged leaving just little bumps along the crosshair lines where mildots are. Half mildot lines invisable. Picture clear,well defined branches in pile. It sort of works. Definitely better than thin crosshairs. White light crisp clear, plenty of definition, retical crystal clear, mildots and half mil plain as day. Green light same as white light but a bit better more defined cleaner light. If that makes sence. |

Turrets are great. Good solid clicks.
Finger adjustable. Hopefully the wind will die down later and I can finish zeroing it in. Will need shim for back at some stage. All said and done seems a good little scope. Will update later in its life. But from what I'm seeing should be a good scope. 100 bucks cheaper than the gun City air rifle rated one which died in a month on the gamo, vastly superior quality and glass. |

Mounted my new Wulf 2-7x32 on the project gun to see if it helps with my grouping. It's definitely overkill and quite a bit larger than the Tasco it replaced. I'm no expert, but it seems nicely made, with clear optics, the turrets are nice to use with finger adjustment and the lines on the reticle are not as thick as those on the Tasco which I'm happy about. The only criticism I can make is that the white dot for the AO adjustment is tiny (not that it really matters) and the reticle is a bit 'busy' with lots of dots and markers close together. Overall I'm happy with my purchase, it seems very good value for the money and the supplier was prompt with shipping (overnight). |

thanks for the reviews, I am really impressed itih glass quality, reticle does the job well I believe. All WULF scopes were made for springers and beyond so made to withstand heavy recoil.
I did wrap scope box in bubble wrap in addition to black wrap, I will go back to doing that. I add the peanuts for extra security during transport, I recently bought a $3000 scope that basically had paper around the box and little in the way of protection in the box, I was surprised to say the least.

The light gathering of the scope out in the paddock at night is bloody awsome.
Had no trouble picking up hares as clear as, and watching them run off into the distance, with the red light, which I usually find quite the worst light for seeing. This scope out preforms my hawk for light gathering hands down. Thats rather annoying as the hawk was well above double what I payed for the wulf. |

WULF 2-7x32AO fitted to springer.
1960's .22 BSA Meteor was not fitted with fixed sights so needs a rated scope. CZ mounts were modified for this rifle and 32mm optic is perfect. 100 pellets to date and working effectively between 10 and 25 yards on Remington drop downs. Mechanism gives more of a twang than a thump so scopes longevity will be interesting. I have had a 32mm Gamo and Tasco on this rifle and all good but the WULF is certainly clearer with very positive clicks on the turrets and no adjustments required after initial zero. 1 inch group at 20 yards. Very heavy trigger yet to be sorted. |

If it’s got a wooden stock I like it already 😉
