Looking to get started in 25 meter bench rest . Currently I am using a FWB300 with a Clearidge 3 x 9 scope. I just bought a Air Arms S400 and need a scope for it. The range I use regularly (near by) is only 50 feet but I will be moving to a new one with a 50 yard indoor .
I am am new to this am open to ideas and options .
Thanks ,
Mitch

Mitch, I have Hawke 6.5-20 and 8-32 on my guns. On my AA FTP 900 I have a Falcon 10-50 on it. I like both mfg's. Craig

Shooting bench, I would put on as much magnification as I could.
This also depends on the target. Because if I can't see the target, or have difficulty seeing it because it is too small, I can't aim at it.

I was thinking of a Weaver T 36 but I cannot find out if it ranges down to 50 feet.

the weaver T36 and the Sightron SII 36 both will focus down to 50ft
and they are both in the same price range used 300-500
the Sightron is the one recommended for springers

My two FWB 300s have Mueller 8-32X44 target dot scopes. I shoot them at 25M set at 28X magnification. These are fine scopes for a reasonable price around $250 or less. They also focus down to 10 yards. There is a 40X56 fixed power scope available for the same price. The best mount for this is the UTG one piece drooper mount. FWB 300s seem to be the most popular springer for 25M BR shooting in the springer class. These rifles are awesome.(http://)

Thanks Paul,
I am going to mount thr Sightron on the FWB300 and use my AA s400 MPR for 10 meter for now.
I really like shooting the FWB off the rest.
