cheap and no so cheap scopes

Folks.

 

I have had several scopes on the Mousegun.

 

They all start off well but after a few hundred rounds lose zero.

I have come to the conclusion that only top of the line scopes can be trusted.

 

So as I don't care to spend several hundred or thousand bucks for a scope,( the Hippy would have my head blink.gif )

 

it is Iron sights for me.

 

At 50 meters firing from sandbags the scope was giving 1 to 2 inch groups but the groups were moving all over the paper. blink.gif

 

With the issue sights the 5 shot groups were all in the 10 ring.

I tossed the scope. smile.gif

What were the brands of the scopes you were using?

 

I have had good luck with just about any brand scope on a "mouse" gun.

 

It's the high powers that bring out the true guts of a scope.

Tasco..BSA..Simons.

 

I did not expect a problem , but the older guys at the range told me that there is something about the vibration .22 that "Kills" scopes unless they are on the order of Leupold or Zeiss .
