You have any youve tested I could buy from you? Hawke Vantage?

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I sell them shortly after testing them ...It's how I keep my channel going , and buying more scopes

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

I realize that you have many subscribers so i hope you don't mind my question. I was wondering is the bushnell AR 2-7 if it is the rimfire scope or scope for the 223? Also if the AR 3-9 might be a good choice as well. I think the 2-7 might be discontinued.

[@sbeprecisionproducts6729]

@@thinkingimpaired5663 I had the same question.

[@elirocha8548]

Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great kzbin.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!

Your videos are great thank you. I served thirty years in the United States Army almost twenty in the Ranger regiment and ten where ever I was needed I retired in 2010.. However I can't hunt anymore because of wounds sustained while deployed. I never thought I'd have a pellet rifle. I was given one as a gift. A Hatsan striker in.22 then I purchased another striker in .25 caliber. Finally I purchased the Hatsan 125 sniper in .25 caliber also. All of them are springers.. I just put a Hammers 3-9X40 AO.. So far so good. I'm hooked on these pellet rifles. I have a collection of firearms.. The pellet rifles are great for improving markmanship and training or teaching someone how to shoot. I usually fire my rifles fiirsr. Then shoot the pellet rifles for a hour or so. Milestone time and cheap to shoot Keep up the good work great video's thanks.

[@edwardmyirski7964]

I know this will be an unpopular opinion but I just want to share my experience with cvlife. After hearing their raves from a guy I have a lot of respect for, Kenny kormendy,(although you're still my fav, Joe) I rolled the dice on one. I paid about $60 for a 4-16 "tactical" model and mounted it on my wicked recoiling spring piston hatsan 125. And at first I was honestly surprised that it was even usable for that price. But now after about 1000 shots I'm amazed it's not only still usable but still holds zero and tracks repeatably. If you have $100 to spend on a hawke, definitely go that route. But if you need glass for half that, I'd definitely buy another one of these. Obviously at their price point, qc is a crap shoot but my gamble paid off, well enough that I'd roll the dice on them again.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Edward I've done videos on those scopes and they are an excellent bargain . I lost about 50 videos last March ..The CVLife scope video was one of them . I gave it a thumbs up

[@DirtyDovi]

Edward, It's nice to hear that you had good luck with your scope too! I've also had Great luck with my CVLife scope.. I grabbed the 2.5-10x40 model w/ the built in red laser pointer on Amazon, just to swap around on different rifles.. I figured it'd be okay for short distances, but didn't expect much for the price paid.. Well, I was absolutely blown away. The optics were surprisingly clear, great cross hairs, illumination, and the laser dialed in and stayed put.. That scope has been on 4 PCPs and 2 Ruger .22s now, and has worked flawlessly on all of them [out to 100 yards] It was even used when two squirrels were taken out.. both @ 30 yards, 1 through the eye, and 1 through the neck [running] That said, I'd have no problem recommending these things too!

Thanks for sharing your experience with the CVLife, I have a springer, the Diana Stealth, my first Airgun, and it came wit a Scope, I really hate that scope, what a piece of garbage, and I would like to change it with something not that expensive, so I might try the CVLife.

[@scottsalber1066]

I cannot believe the MTC Viper Connect 3-12x32mm isn’t talked about more. That scope is revolutionary in its field of view. I cannot believe it doesn’t get more praise it’s got good glass and also has a different kind of illumination dial that lets you set the illumination level separate from the on and off switch most are the same dial. To me it’s a perfect airgun scope unless you need higher magnification for target shooting. Maybe it’s because it needs to be mounted differently because of its design I don’t know but I have two of them and love them.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I have never tested one

[@scottsalber1066]

You’ve got to! When they first came out there was a ton of hype on them people were raving about them but now you don’t hear anything. I know they are several years old now since they first came out but they are still unlike any other scope out there. I think a lot of people that shoot pcp pellet guns just target shoot and don’t actually hunt hell same thing with centerfire rifles. That’s why there has been a massive push for scope companies to sell scopes designed for the range and not really hunting. The Viper Connect is a hunting scope it has a max of 12 power magnification not 100 and has scope caps not exposed turrets. It’s only downside is it gets a little dark in the early morning/evening because it’s only a 32mm but I don’t shoot at those hours and if I did it has an illuminated reticle so it’s no problem.

Thanks for the hard work Joe! I picked up the Athlon Talos 6-24X50 SFP and found it to be Very nice for 200 bucks. I had always thought about the Hawke Airmax 6-24X50 but cant see spending over $200 more than the Athlon. (I Do have a 3-9 Airmax on my Diana 75....happy with it.) Your thoughts? Mike.

[@OC_Lofton]

Agreed. I had mine (Athlon Talos 6-24x50) on a couple of 6.5 Creedmoors before moving it to a Ruger 10/22. It's a great value priced scope. If the Eye Relief was an inch longer (near constant 4 inches vs. the near constant 3 inches) on maximum magnification - I would be running more of these on my centerfire rifles.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

I personally like the Vantage 95% as much as the Airmax at half the cost . Just my opinion .

Hi Joe, Thanks for your videos. I have a 1st gen .177 Marauder with a Bushnell Legend 5-15 x 40 milldot that I like. Just bought a 2nd Marauder (.177, regulated, picatinny, lw barrel) to punch holes in paper at 20-40 yards chasing accuracy. Can you recommend a scope? Crossman suggested a Centerpoint 4-16 x 40 but it probably is not an upgrade to my Bushnell Legend. You have many good options in this video but I feel I prefer the "~15" magnification. Dont mind spending on the high end if you feel it is worth it. Thanks a lot. I'm getting back in to the game after 8 years! Thanks and I am going to start watching your videos after being forwared her from GTA.

[@surreallife777]

I'm looking for a first focal plane compact scope for my Artemis PP750. I considered the UTG Bug buster 3-9x32 scope. The UTG it has some controversy that the glass is not very good in terms of clarity and it's not really good past 100 yds on top of that it's quite pricey. You seem to like the Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 AO PX 1" Mil Dot. Do you think the scope would be a good choice for the PP750 and can you get it with a quick release like the UTG.

Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 FFP has a minimal parallax of 25 yards, no? I can't seem to find that critical piece of info on their web site or catalog. I was very close at picking up a SWFA 3-15 The reticle is really useful for holdover, and I have found that 3-15 or 4-16 ideal zoom range for the pesting I do. The deal breaker for me was the need for an illuminated reticle for the action at dawn and dusk. The logical option would be SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 but that is in a different price class entirely.

Hey, I'm just going through the process of researching what's the best scope in the 80-150€ range that I could get for an airsoft sniper (typical range 20-90m) and looks like the Hawke 2-7x32 is a winner. I've noticed that the Hawke 3-9x40 pretty much costs the same and isn't much heavier, how do you think these two compare? Have you tried both, could you offer some more insight or reccommendation? Thank you for your damn honest and informative videos on the subject, found them right when I needed them! :)

Hey Joe, love your videos. I need a little guidance. I got the Hatsan 130 break barrel. .30cal. And there Optima 3-12×50 ao scope with it. I think the scope broke after about 300 shots. Had about 2in groups at about 65 yards. Then it started to put shots all over. They did send me a replacement but im afraid to put it on cause i don't want to break it to. You think i just got a bad scope first should i be looking for a shock proof type of scope? I did see that scope mount that has "shocks" on it. Seems like what i might need. But im hoping these scopes are made for springers. Thank you for all you knowledge and advice in advance.

[@Brawler.1588]

I just picked up a gauntlet .25 as my first pcp, I have the sumo kit installed glad you like it seems to be a solid choice. As for a scope I bought a discovery 5-20×50 scope in SFP but now seeing FFP scopes out there did I make the right choice. I will be using it to hunt and pest from 5 yards to probably 50 yards. With the SFP if I use all different magnification settings while hunting 50 yards and under will my shots be that for off?

[@Beesa10]

Powerful gas-spring guns are known for doing this, even to good quality scopes. Look for one which is approved to use with springers and has a good warranty, the SWFA SS line of scopes seem to be very rugged. My honest advice would be spend the money on a smooth shooting little HW30/Beeman R7 spring gun with iron sights instead. You can enjoy practicing with iron sights while saving up for a quality light weight scope and when you fit the scope it will be far less likely to break.

Also if you have time check out my first vid of my soon to be wife shooting the airgun Depot off hand challenge @ 78 yrds with the marader.25 ! Appreciate you and love your no nonsense approach!!

[@IamPeacefulWarrior]

Have a look at AO scopes, you can adjust parallax and get rid of fogginess.

[@francisfaustino]

Thanks for all your videos. Been watching a lot of them these past few days and pardon all the questions. I was really close to pulling the trigger last night on the Bushnell Nitro FFP but you turned me on to the SWFA 3-15x42mm. I just called their customer service and they told me it has a lifetime warranty even with no receipts! Fit and finish-wise, which do you think is better between the Nitro and the SWFA SS 3-15? Also, do you know if the SWFA SS can withstand a spring air rifle like the TX200? Thanks again!

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

It's a Much better scope than the Nitro . And it'll take anything you throw at it

[@ryantruair1671]

I have a conundrum. You’ve compiled a great list but I can’t find one of these that seems to fit my application. Im looking for something with mainly short range capabilities, most shots will be between 5-25 yards. Price isn’t a factor. It’s going on a suppressed TalonP. What are your thoughts?

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Ryan look at the Leupold 3-9 Freedom EFR . I have one I had built in the Custom shop with a different reticle ....It's a BADASS

[@randomstuffno1caresabout3]

Are these all airgun rated because the first 2 seem to be real rifle scopes not air rifle im looking to put on a breakbarrel so what would you recomend

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

All these are . The ones we have had best luck with were the Bushnell AR series of scopes

[@haideralmosawy3267]

I'd like ask u .What is the difference between firearms scopes and airguns scopes?

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Airgun Scopes focus closer and handle double recoil

[@Chevy2U]

I want some Vortex Diamond Back & TAC Vector 10x44.

[@intenseaty2935]

Having taken Photography in HS & College (not that I’m any good at it) I certainly appreciate B&W Sexy AF, suggestive yet non smutty pics. A+ there. Best Scopes of 2019? Dude, it’s not even February!

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Yep I am not interested in listing new Scopes till other guys " beta test them"

[@stephenbarry8973]

Owned a delta scope the 4.5 -15x44 hft AO ffp scope made in Japan got rid ,have you come across these ? Just couldn't get along with it bad parrelax error ,shoot better with my cheap hawk map scope 3-9x50 .like the Hawks tho , what you think the frontier line ?

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

The Frontier scopes I've seen are.nice . But haven't had the very best luck with Hawke

[@stephenbarry8973]

@@CyclopsJoeVideos Any reason why on the hawk ? the delta was a 4.5-14x42 or 44. I think ao scope got that wrong ,wasn't great for the price tunneling more like a 6x and had parrlax error bad . couldn't get consistent accuracy at all ,you not come across this make .also what would you recommend for a air rifle on a light weight carbine sub 12 flb good optics solid turrets not to botherd about a zoom modles .sorry about all the questions you seem experienced well in the scope world .Ive owned quite a few my self some of the more expensive models from my experience not always a safe bet .

[@jakestuhr4950]

So what I’m wondering is how long these last? I have bought many scopes that were for “air rifles” that lasted about 100-200 shots and then were junk I’m shooting a Benjamin golden eagle which doesn’t have much shock but I need to find a scope that will last a while, any suggestions?

[@charlesmckinley29]

Hi Joe, is there anything new to consider? Looking for a Benejamin Marauder .22. I need something with a mildot or MOA hashes for quick hold overs when I misjudge the distance or don’t have time to dial. AO as it will all be 100m and closer. I do most of my shooting prone and around 10 power. I have all the scopes of interest from the list bookmarked. Thanks!

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

No Man this list still holds up

Joe, any recommendations for any other Discovery scope for a springer besides the compact one you mentioned? thanks

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Bushnell AR 2-7

[@chrisladouceur4093]

What would you recommend for a Gamo Swarm Maxxim .177 gas piston? I intend to use it for small game hunting. I’ve been told that gas pistons are hard on scopes and I want something that will last. Don’t want to spend over ~300

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Take a look at the Bushnell Engage series scopes. They are GREAT values and tough as iron

[@chrisladouceur4093]

Cyclops Videos Joe W Rhea Are the engage series scopes rated for the double recoil? Also, the one you recommend in this video, 2.5-10x44 30mm, is $500 here in Canada and the 2-7x36 1inch is $230. Do you think the price difference is justified and would you expect the cheaper option to still hold up? Thanks!

[@squirrelhunter4life909]

Hello, what is the best scope for an FX Wildcat MK2 25 or 30 caliber for squirrel and rabbit hunting

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Depends on Budget , But I am REALLY liking the Bushnell Forge scopes that are on sale at Midway right now !!! Killer buy .

[@BearClawAK47]

Are all these scopes specifically for airguns? Just purchase my first PCP rifle and need optics. Many of them seem to be standard rifle scopes, which would be great as it opens up my options.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

They can be used for both . I try and pick scopes that will focus down to 25 yards so I have options

looks like not much difference between rifle scope and air rifle scope, the key difference is on the scope mount, am I not right?

Are these scopes effective at closer range as well? I'm talking backyard 10 -20 yards.. I'm about to get an HW97 and the darn thing doesn't come with open sights. Any help is appreciated! Something simple.. Not twice the price as my HW97 :)
