Great reviews, Joe. Any reason why you didn't include scopes with higher magnification(except the Aztec)?

 

[CampFussell]

Joe, if you can find and crash some tupperware parties in your area, I'm sure there are many ladies who would pay good money for you to put your clothes back on? ;-)

Fair review as usual. I appreciate how you give people options in different price ranges, so they can pick what fits their budget. As usual, I agree with the comments on the scopes I’ve tried.

Great video Joe, And as always when it comes to scope reviews you're the man.

I just ordered a specific Discovery Scope on Aliexpress. Wasn't cheap, but I kept reading great reviews here on it's quality. Seems well worth the money.

Discovery VT-3 3-12X44 SF compact First Focal Plane $199.00

I later found it listed on Ebay for $167.00, so a few deals are out there.

I have a Discovery VT-Z 4-16 x 44 SF on order from Charlie at Airgun Optics Plus and it was only a few bucks more that dealing directly with China. I liked dealing with a forum member better than some random marketing person. Mine should be here in a few weeks as it will be on the next batch that comes in. ( I was contacted right away about faster options and chose to wait). I'll let you guys know my thoughts when it's in hand. If It's not here by March, I will pony up some more money for the VT2.

Do you think the Hawke Vantage is a better choice than the Airmax line for a Magnum springer ?

I mean it isn't "springer rated".

 

[JoeWayneRhea]

Fish the Vantage isn't magnum rated . Paul I was trying to just cover scopes I've owned . I tend to shy away from the highest magnification scopes . 

 

[Revoman]

Joe, good reviews....so was that a Freudian slip...."in this price range, so that's the ones we're gonna focus on." HA!

 

[JoeWayneRhea]

Lol may have been 

 

[fishinwrench]

Fish the Vantage isn't magnum rated . . 

I'm not even sure what "Magnum springer rated" even means. Does anyone ?

Whatever it means ..... doesn't appear to mean anything. What process, or extra parts, makes a scope "Magnum springer proof"? Not that any of them truly are.

Another great video Joe, I enjoy your reviews. I just picked up a Discovery scope, I didn't even know their existence until I watched one of your reviews. They make some nice stuff!

Fish on paper it means a scope built for double recoil . But a true magnum Springer will eventually take it's toll on most any scope . The Vantage is an inexpensive lil scope and it isn't built for super hard double recoil . To the best of my knowledge Leupold is the only scope line that guarantee ANY of their scopes for any Airgun . Not to say they are the only ones who will warranty it . Just that all their scopes are enforced from both directions. 

My personal opinion is what wrecks the internals isn't just the recoil but the harmonics of a large spring . I have a lil video called something like Magnum Scopes . It has a slow motion video that was filmed.ed by AoA in it . That sums up what a air rifle does to a hard fixed scope pretty well
