Im looking at this

http://www.uttings.co.uk/Product/543...ir-rifle-scope

I already have a sport HD 3-9 scope just wondering is any one has the above mentioned scope.

or even better recommendations for similar scopes

I don't know much about that brand but I like the illuminated mil dot reticule.

[GfBTWMmV]

Yep, they make things that are far away look closer.

Don't know anything about that scope, but I was asking scope questions in a gun forum last year and everyone said, cheap scopes are cheap. They aren't good and you get what you pay for.

That said, I ended up with this scope that cost $60 [rofl]
It's on my AK and has only had about 100 targeted rounds with it on. Seems good so far but I don't know how it will hold up under more usage yet.

This, definitely. Though in my experience (most of the past 20 years) you don't even get what you pay for, rather its a matter of 'why did I waste $50 on this?'

Leupold scopes might cost 5 times more, but they're lifetime keepers imo (And not just because they have a lifetime warranty).

So, if its the same capability you want: http://www.uttings.co.uk/Product/543...0-rifle-scope/

if you're looking for the same price range also, I'd recommend don't replace the one you have, instead put the money towards a really good one to replace it with in the future.

Good advice - pay for a good one, look after it, and you'll still be using it in 20 years - it should also be more robust so it'll hold it's alignment and adjustment significantly better!

This. When I was in the market for a scope my friend tried to talk me into getting one like his $40 tasco. I went with a Leupold. We were camping one night, there came a point where he couldn't keep shooting as his tasco wasn't gathering enough light. Leupold was still bright....

Optima make decent but good priced scopes.

But like the lads have said, you get what you pay for.

Two of my friends, wanted scopes for hunting foxes (not something I entirely agree with), anyway, one bought a £2000 Night Scope, Gen 2 and the other bought a Leupold scope, similar price, something like a 4-24 x 56, the Leupold was actually much better than the night scope, He could see further, identify targets further and shoot for longer too.

The only thing that might have made the night scope better, was a laser/IR illuminator.

I owned an Optima 3x - 9x X 56 scope and got a custom glass reticle made for it, with windage
dots and lines etc, owned the same scope for about 5 years, it was both robust and allowed me to clearly see long after dusk, especially with a small head torch, to cast some light forwards.

Not sure if the cheaper scopes still have them, but at one stage they used to make cheaper scopes with wire reticles, so if you dropped the rifle the "scope hairs" would usually snap, its much better to get a scope which has a reticle that is etched on glass, its less likely to break.
