Hey folks!
I just got me a Weihrauch HW 45 air pistol (Beeman P1) and got stuck with some scope issues. Because this is a spring-piston model, I'm worried about the mecanical impact the HW 45 could have on a handgun scope. Some say, the impact of a spring-piston causes such heavy vibration in such a short moment of time, that it could kill every scope. So I started looking for a tough scope, which at least could handle a lot of recoil. Now I need some help in finding the right one for my needs. As far as I know, a scope with 2x magnification should do the job. I mostly do some plinking at a distance of about 75 feet. I read a lot about Burris scopes, and that they could handle heavy recoil and that they seem to be good quality made scopes. Weaver also promises to handle a lot of recoil and the scopes seem also well manufactured. I don't got the money for a leupold, so please don't try to convince me to buy one of them! (Moneylessness is the source of many problems, I guess.) So the following models (all on optics-planet) came to my attention: Burris 2x20 http://www.competitor.com/burris-2x-blk-handgun-scopes.html Weaver 2x28 http://www.competitor.com/weaver-classic-handgun-2x28-fixed-riflescope.html As you can see, there's a price difference between the two. But they both come with lifetime warranty. The Burris costs around 230 $ and the weaver costs 70 $ less. You must know, that the weaver costs about 350 Euros on the German website of midway...so I was thinking, that maybe it's not so bad at all. I spent hours in research and I reached my limit. I'm begging for advice which one to choose and hope, some of you enjoy their Beeman as well as I do! Cheers! Nickel |
