Title: Scope help.
Post by: 07fx4ranger on November 02, 2014, 06:38:26 PM
Ok so i have a qb78 that has been modded a little. (Larger port and modded the bolt)  Im looking for a scope that has a mil-dot reticle because that's what I'm used to.   I'm not looking to spend allot maybe in the 50 to 75 range.   I have been looking at the cvlife, utg, and leapers. It being illuminated doesnt matter just looking to get one that doesnt break after the first 2 shots.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're not looking for a lightweight scope, the Crosman Centerpoint 4-16x40mm can be had for $70.00 delivered from Amazon. At last count I had at least six of these mounted on airguns. They work far better than a seventy-buck scope should.

Take a look at this one. They also have many others. Take a while and shop. Then read reviews on the web. Bud's Gun Shop is one of the most reliable places on the web.

The qb78 is a pretty neat shooter.   I think you're making a good choice, in not over-scoping it.  By skipping options, you can get better glass and a Lighter weight scope.
This is a pretty simple Leapers 3-9x scope that has a good and pretty fine, 1/2mildot reticle.
The scope Parallax is set @ 35yds.  It easily focuses clearly @10 yards.  Good strong scoperings are included.  This scope is the newest version of one that they've offered for quite a few years.
Here's the Leapers Web specs:

Wmart carries most of the brands mentioned here.  Take a visit and look thru a few.
You'll see the different reticles and feel the differences in weight, for adding onto your rifle.

I would go for a Tasco varmint 2.5-10 it has mil dot and AO and its not very heavy and the one I looked at seemed to have better glass than my Leapers
