Hello,

Which glasses would you choose with the TX 200 .177?

Is the 10x zoom at a distance of 15 meters (16.40 yard) good or too big?

Is falcon as solid as the Airmax hawke designed for airguns?


The mounting of the two pieces mount or one piece mount glasses? High or medium?


Thank you a lot.

One piece mounts,,,I am happy with my Airmax,10x at 15yds,etc is too much,I use 7-8x at 20 yd. range and get by with 4x.

the height of mount has to do with the objective lens of scope, probably need a higher mount for 50mm than 40mm....also the way your body is,like long neck.

making it simple one pc,high mount,3x9x40 scope...a medium mount might work...first figure out what scope you want,then use the mounts that fit..

I agree, a one piece drooper mount is best for this application, like this one. They come in either 1 inch or 30MM.

Pyramids out. AoA has them in stock FYI... Yo!

Personally I feel the 1 piece BKL drooper mount is the best for any springer but the cheap RWS 1 piece dropper mount should work they're not German they're Chinese BTW... Yo!

The Hawke Airmax 8-32 is the best scope out of those 4 you listed. Yo!

That Falcon is also rebranded as the Marcool and Discovery Optics so if you are set on that Falcon I suggest looking at Marcool and Discovery Optics for cheaper alternative for that same scope from Aliexpress. Yo!

I have an Airmax side focus 32x 50. I like the AMX reticle. But I wish my salesman had talked me up to the Sidewinder. I had since picked up a Sidewinder 20x 42 with the 20x 1/2 mil reticle. Much better feel to the turrets and brighter glass for only $10% more. The Airmax starts to get a little dim above 20x in comparison even though it has a larger objective lens. The one thing that is overlooked in the pricing of Hawke scopes is that they come with a nice big sidewheel, sunshade, and high quality metal lens covers. that fold all the way flat open. The $500 price range is very crowded with good scopes these days. But I wouldn't buy another Airmax when the Sidewinder is so much better. The 32x Leapers is quite a bargain at $300 but has one fatal flaw where the sidewheel focus system shifts the vertical point of impact up or down by half a mil depending on which way you turned it last.

.

As to the second part of your question if I understand what you are asking: I personally don't find any amount of extreme magnification to be "too much" for any given range on still targets. I had my 50x 60 Hawke on my .177 for a trial and it is actually pretty fun punching paper at 12 yards in my attic on 40x. And ranging with the focus beyond 40 yards is pretty difficult to tell apart at less than 20x. But woods walking on moving game is tough to get your crosshairs on scampering small game targets at over 16x due to a limited field of view on higher magnification.

I totally agree the Hawke Sidewinder 30 specifically the 6.5-20x42 is one of the clearest scopes i have seen. Yo!
