I certainly be happy with that!

Thanks for the leads...I'll check them out. I guess I'm showing my age and/or traditionalist background. 10x and 16x seem like a lot of magnification to me. But I'm always open to considering new points of view. :cool:

Thanks for the info. Ghosting is certainly something to consider. If there's a perfect sight out there (that is under $400) I've yet to discover it.

That's a nice looking setup you have there! I wish Weihrauch still had this type of stock on their current version of the HW50. And I hear what you're saying about centering your eye on the scope--that's how I was trained to shoot.

Question: Do you have the parallax on these fixed-power scopes reset to something like 35 yards, or do you just use them as they are? And if you do reset the parallax, do you do it yourself or do you send it off to someone who does this type of work (I don't think any of the manufacturers do it...

One of the few low-power guys I've seen on this (or other forums). I'm new to air rifles, but always preferred a fixed 4x on my hunting rimfires. I really appreciate your input since I'm eyeing a HW 50s for my next purchase, but have been fretting about what kind of scope to put on it.

I appreciate your input. I think we're pretty much on the same page as far as hunting scopes. For rimfires, I've always preferred a fixed 4x, with a 2-7 variable coming in a close second. My question to is about the shooting with a 16x: would still be inclined to use that magnification if you...

Thanks for the good information. What do you think about high-mag fixed power scopes for shooting between 40-55-yard distances? I mention this because I'm intrigued by the SWFA SS line, especially the 10x42 and 16x42.

Thanks for your feedback. I did notice that I liked turning up my 4-12 Bushnell to higher powers when shooting targets out to 50 yards. However, I do have a nice Nikon spotting scope that I'm used to using for my powder-burners, so I'm not so worried about being able to spot my shots at long...

I know A LOT of folks are very keen on the Hawkes. I'm already planning my next purchase of another Weihrauch--probably a HW50s in .177--which I'd like to augment with something like a 2-7x33AO (this will be used mostly for hunting squirrels, maybe rabbits). I see that Hawke has one of these...

Greetings to all from a senior who is new to Airgun Nation! I've been a center-fire and rimfire rifle enthusiast/hunter for more than a few decades, but I've only gotten seriously into spring-piston air rifles over the last couple of months. Although I purchased a Diana 34-t05 in .177 around...
