MCAR .510 Caliber Hunter Version Optic Suggestion?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
@wyzepanda Optics are a personal thing as our eyes are not close to being the same and our personal preferences tend to differ. I assume that you will be the primary person shooting your MCAR, correct? I think that selecting an optic also greatly depends upon what you are trying to do and how you're trying to do that thing. So what sort of shooting do you intend to do with the MCAR? What type of scopes do you prefer? Which type of reticles? Do you typically hold over or dial the turrets to make corrections? Do you wear eye glasses?

Thanks for responding! I generally just go out in the woods with my jeep and find a clearing that I find suitable and set up a shooting alley where I can place some targets both paper and exploding. My inventory of airguns consists of: MCAR .510 Cal, Zeus .72 Cal, AEA SF Sniper .30 Cal, AEA Megaladon .50 Cal, Hatsan Factor RC .357 Cal, Hatsan Blitz 777 .30 Cal, Umarex Hammer .510 Cal, MacAvity Arms MA2 both in .25 Cal and .30 Cal, Huben GK1 in .25 cal, Hatsan Jet II in .25 cal and Byrna Mission 4 set up. Depending on my mood I will bring two or three of the above and set up a tripod and a shooting table. I will then most always zero in to make sure of accuracy. I am kind of a noob to all of this stuff however especially to the "terminology" surrounding scopes. I do find it frustrating sometimes when trying to set up scopes that I have previously purchased just because I thought it would look "cool" on the product only to find out that I really have no idea what I am doing when it comes to setting up a scope or researching a scope. In fact, it is hard to say what my preferences are.

@wyzepanda Ahhh I see. Then I suggest taking time to learn more about rifle scopes because your question is sure to garner all sorts of answers. Many will be tough to determine what's right for you. The first thing I would suggest is that you read about rifle scopes and learn the basic parts and functions of a scope. Following your reading, next I suggest going to a gun store or sporting good store to look through some glass if you have any close to you where you are able to handle and look through the scopes. Unless you want to start buying random scopes those are good places to start. I started out buying things I didn't need because I didn't know any better. Now I've learned what I like and it's a whole lot easier to shop for scopes.

If you don't mind reading I can send you a few scope threads to help you get started.

I would appreciate that. And yes, I do have a great sporting goods store nearby. In fact, I am in there often as I do alot of scuba diving and get my tanks filled there. I know the owner quite well and I just have not had the opportunity to sit with and be honest with him to say I could use a tutorial on scopes! It is sometimes hard to ask for help!

@wyzepanda Ok. I like this member's tutorials. They tend to be well organized and easy to follow. You'll see some acronyms that may be confusing at first. POA is point of aim or simply put, what you're aiming at with the crosshairs of your reticle. POI is point of impact or where your projectile hits the target.

Just out of curiosity..... Do you know anything about the Hatsan Blitz 777? The full auto not working properly and how to fix it? I previously had the Hatsan Blitz and sold that so I could buy what I thought was an upgraded version of the Blitz, the 777 model, only to take out of the box and find out it still does not shoot on full auto consistently. I have tried replacing the breach seal o-ring and that did not do anything. Without a magazing the rifle fires on full auto perfectly but when you put the mag in it will fire about four or five rounds and then you have reset the cocking lever.

@wyzepanda I don't, but if you start a thread about that rifle in a the PCP forum you'll probably get some answers. I've seen several members discuss this rifle.
