I'm too shaky for a scope and my eyes aren't good enough for open sights any more.... My favourite Red Dot is the MRS (multi-reticle sight) sold by several companies including Walther and NcStar.... It has 4 different reticles and adjustable brightness.... but the BEST part is the wide field of view and the unobstructed area around the target.... Some red dots are worse than looking through a scope in their field of view.... Also, some red dots have a lot a parallax issues as well, but that one doesn't....

I'm too shaky for a scope and my eyes aren't good enough for open sights any more.... Same here. I have a BSA, which does have parallax problems. I got around it by sanding the paint from the very rear of the ocular bezel, creating a bright "ghost ring" reference circle that helps me position the dot (or rather, my head). _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 2:14 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Scope, or Dioptre. Any scope that's a bit bright works for me. I don't use them to much for magnification, allthough I might in the future. Dioptres are good stuff if you want to accurately shoot paper, but I've also used them a couple of times for plinking and I had satisfactional results doing so. 25 yards hitting a can is not a real problem. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 4:31 pm donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area broommaster2000 wrote: Scope, or Dioptre.

According to the image they show there of the Crosman red dot it is quite similar to the Daisy which has too small of a field of view for me making it useless. Now if the one from the custom shop is different then ok but they don't show an image so you can tell.   Posted: Thu Mar 04, 2010 3:35 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands donec wrote: broommaster2000 wrote: Scope, or Dioptre.

By Diopter do you mean red dot or something else? You can also call it an advanced peep sight. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Mar 04, 2010 4:24 pm ausher Member Joined: 28 Feb 2010 Posts: 96 Location: SWMO U.S.A. donec wrote: http://www.pyramydair.com/a/Accessories/Dot_sights_flashlights_and_lasers/Dot_sights/25Check out the reviews in that link and then you will have a better idea of your options.

BSA and Leapers are both good brands. I particularly have good experience with the a BSA scope with a sort of rubberized finish. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 9:05 pm ausher Member Joined: 28 Feb 2010 Posts: 96 Location: SWMO U.S.A. ok after much debate i came down to these 2 scopes http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Leapers_Golden_Image_30mm_Tactedge_CQB_Dot_Sight_Red_Green_Dot_Weaver_Mount/2669 http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Leapers_5th_Gen_4x32_Compact_Mini_CQB_Rifle_Scope_Illuminated_Mil_Dot_Reticle_1_4_MOA_1_Tube_Weaver_Rings/2552 so whaddaya think of these two? thanks! _________________ so far a stock 2240 and a 2300kt with a 14.6" barrel, walnut grips, with mods from www.mountainaircustomairguns.com - power adjuster, modified valve, and an extended bolt probe. optical- leapers 30mm tactical dot sight   Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 9:17 pm Mark5043 Silver Status Member Joined: 12 Apr 2009 Posts: 1379 ausher wrote: ok after much debate i came down to these 2 scopes http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Leapers_Golden_Image_30mm_Tactedge_CQB_Dot_Sight_Red_Green_Dot_Weaver_Mount/2669 http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Leapers_5th_Gen_4x32_Compact_Mini_CQB_Rifle_Scope_Illuminated_Mil_Dot_Reticle_1_4_MOA_1_Tube_Weaver_Rings/2552 so whaddaya think of these two? thanks! Go with the Leapers Golden image.Your other choice..the 4x32,is a rifle scope being that it has a 100 yard fixed parallax..objects will be somewhat blurry,and distorted in the operative range of your air pistol. _________________ leapers golden image   Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 2:48 am steveR56 Member Joined: 22 Jun 2009 Posts: 51 Location: Usa,Ma.
