PCP air rifles .. what scope would you recommend?

grauhanen said:
The Sightron scopes designed for Field Target competition are very good scopes. They have SF with an oversized ring for ranging, have 10-50 magnification, and are over $2000. Perhaps overkill for pesting and target shooting. Any scope that would meet your needs that is suitable for a .22LR and has either adjustable objective or side focus will do the trick on a PCP as recoil is not an issue.

Indeed. Second choice would be Hawke. Good solid fundamentals, glass is not up to banner levels, but solid nonetheless.
 
I finally put my air rifle scope combo together! Took some time to save up , however so far I am very pleased with the results on this FX Streamline and A z t e c Emerald scope combo!

Thanks to everyone for your input

Very nice. I'm saving up for a new scope. I sold alot of my airguns and purchased a Kral Puncher Mega. Now I need a proper scope for it. The 3-9 X just isn't cutting it.

I really like this A Z T E C Emerald scope (3 to 18 X 50) The markings are fine but quite visible (So far in all light conditions I have encountered) It does not have internal lighting.

The centre is a dot between crosshairs .. very easy to centre target and hold.

Side focus (parallax) wheel adjustable from under 10 yards to 200+ (comes with a large wheel if you need it)

The target shown are my 1st 2 groups of 5, shot with JSB 15.89 top and 18.13 lower .... 50 yards with a good cross breeze

Have since fine tuned a little and also been out removing Starlings from a local farm .. (I'm averaging 50% on the pest shooting)

thanks again for all input here

With the correct fittings and PSI ratings sure. I'm learning about home compressors right now. You want a quality oil/water separator and water filter. So you would want that between the compressor output and your gun for direct fills. A 4500psi carbon fiber bottle would be a better choice. Fill that with the compressor and use the bottle for the air guns. Can't imaging lugging a compressor to the range but some are lucky enough to live out of town and have neighbors who don't mind a little noise.

To the OP - nice rifle. I'm looking at doing the exact same thing, though I can't decide between the walnut or synthetic, and .25 or .22 :)

Well the gas power compressors are Well 2000$. Compressor I got requires a 120 PSI shop compressor to make high pressure air. Most people just get a scba, or CF tank with a fill whip. Or use a hand pump that rated for 4500 PSI.

I had to upgrade my compressor to a bigger one.

On the topic of a small compressor... I have this tidbit to add.

This is my 1st PCP air rifle (may not be my last, hopefully) These things are fun to shoot!

Not having ever used a hand pump to fill one, I ordered one and can say I'm pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to use..... The pump was in stock, but at the same time I ordered a portable compressor $599.00 which is apparently highly rated and can be used on 110 AC power or 12 volt in the field. From the literature it will take about 5 min to fill my FX (The pump is about the same .. 40 pumps to bring the pressure from 170 bar to 230 bar.

The unit I will be getting in June is an Air Venturi Nomad (4500 PSI pump) https://www.airgunsource.ca/en/air-venturi-nomad-4500-psi-portable-compressor.html

I'll give it a full review when it arrives.

I guess what you use to refill a PCP air rifle depends on ones physical ability and how much you shoot in a session (This FX will get over 100 shots on low power and over 40 on high power before a refill is needed)

Its a great time to get into airguns as there is a huge assortment out there to choose from

Have a great week

Think that compressor would fill scuba tanks? Seems like it is meant to just fill your gun.
 
On my Streamline I've got the Hawke Sidewinder 6-24x56mm scope with the floating 1/2 mil - dot reticle.
I really like it but I just don't understand why the mil and rads are all mixed up. This is why I think you've made an excellent choice with the a zte c .
