I was hoping folks would have experience with both scopes and was wondering if they are on par with each other or does one have an edge.  This is assuming the price is the same and both would have the side wheel.  Any though or experiences would be appreciated.

They're both Bigguns'...
Guess you're looking at doing some Real Long Range Stuff.
What ya gonna put it on?

kro77:
I am gonna try my hand at some FT stuff so the 20 - 60 yard stuff at .177.  Both seem they can be had for right around 200 bucks.

Bullit:
Super!
I'm sure you'll enjoy it.  Might wanna check out the AAFTA website.  They have the regulations and different classes that you can participate in.   One reg that may be of interest to you now, is that the maximum allowable magnification for a scope is 12x.  If you have a higher magnification, it must be turned down the the factory marked setting of 12x or lower.  A course can have targets set at 8-10 yards, so you wanna think about that when selecting a scope, as higher power doesn't mean it'll work well under 15 yards...many don't.  Also, a good balance of the scope/rifle weight helps you stay on target.

Here's their website, you can navigate around from there for some good reading:

Hopes this helps Some....and Have Fun!

Thanks for the info it is greatly appreciated.  Any recommendations in the 12x power.  Seems like i have saved myself 100 bucks atleast now.

If 8 yards is in play, maybe a bug buster is the way to go.
