Which scope?

I got the Leapers 3-9 x50 scope for my RWS 350. This scope is BIG. Also, the adjustments require an allen key which I hate. How do you guys feel about this design? I have a fixed magnification leapers bugbuster that does not require the use of an allen key. So, I'm thinking about getting the 3-9 x 32 bugbuster that also does not require the allen key. It is also about half the weight of the other scope. What do you guys think? Would the bugbuster be able to withstand the 350 recoil?

Thanks

Hey Eddie, I own one of those Leapers 3-9X50 AO Illuminated R/G Scope. Paired it with a One-Piece High Mount Accushot and it fits nicely on my Hybrid G-1.

My first one, yes, it has an issue with its AO function but was easily resolved by Leapers when I sent it back for repair. Leapers went beyond the norm and just simply replaced it with a brand new unit. They even sent me an email explaining what happened to the old one.

I know what you mean about the Zero Lock Function at the turrets. You have to use an allen key to tighten and loosen it, a little inconvenience in the field, right? Well, I have found a way to work around that thing.

The Leapers turrets has a positive click on its adjustments. All you just have to do is to use the fleshy part of your thumb finger to tighten and loosen the top part of your turrets, no need for the allen key! I tested this procedure a couple of times and I did not lose any adjustments whatsoever. As long as you locked it nicely it will stay that way, you don't have to over-tighten it with the allen key. Should you need to loosen it again just hold down the turrets adjustment scale and turn the adjustable turret top with your thumb and you're good to go.

Hope this helps.

BTW, Leapers has a very good Customer Support so for me that's a very plus factor, not to mention their affordable price and it is springer rated! :thumb: :cheers:

Not attempting to high-jack this thread but speaking of big scopes,,, I jumped on an offer from Sportsman Guide for a BSA 6-24 X 40 scope at a price of $39.00. Upon arrival i was amazed at the length and weight of the scope. I could use it for a club. On top of that it is so long that it extends over the rear sight and breech of the Ruger Air Hawk that I intended to put it on. I own a second generation Air hawk that I bought with included scope stop. When I placed this refurb against the bought new Air Hawk I noticed that the rear sight is mounted more rearward on the non-scope-stop model than the newer model.

I am tempted to remove the rear sight so as to mount the scope but the length causes it to extend awfully close to the breech.I had planned to use a Accushot High mount scope mount. Since I've only invested $40.00 bucks should I just toss the scope and put a Wally World Center Point or a Leapers on and move forward. I guess I should look before I leap!!
