Been mulling over small scopes for a few weeks now as I wanted something to suit my s200 , I've had a Nikko panamax 3-9x40 on it , Lovely scope but cross hairs/ mildots are a little large for longer range paper punching ( perfect for hunting though and up to 30 yard paper targets ) I've also had a leupold 3-9x33 efr on it , lovely fine cross hairs , mega clear crisp image ( but I took it off my hw95k and it suits the 95k just perfect , So it went back on it )
Had a little nostalgic memory from the 1980s when I used a Tasco 2-7x32 ag FM scope , So had a look about to see what's available in that sort of specification , Didn't want to spend too much and didn't want to spend too little .
And so this arrived this morning , A diminutive sized hawke airmax 2-7x32 , apparently springer rated , The perfect size for my s200, perfect fit to my eye and very clear glass for the money .
I've read a fair bit about the amx reticle , People mentioning it's a very fine reticle which is perfect for my usage , Turrets feel solid , good audible clicks with positive feel about them . Now looking forward to the weekend to give it a try .
One thing to mention is that the distance between the zoom ring and objective lens end is that there is not enough room to fit a sportsmatch one piece mount ,
As I've got it on a PCP there's absolutely no issue .
On a springer , The scope is that light weight 2 piece mounts would be more than adequate , Any doubts and a recoil pin could be used , But to be honest I'd very much doubt it would be needed .
Cracking little scope if your wanting something small ,
I generally shoot at 6 mag when using variable mag scopes ,So it fits my preferences perfectly
