Hello guys, I'm from The Netherlands so sadly I can't order from the US (your laws and stuff), so I'm doomed to whatever I can find here in Europe. I'm not sure if I picked the right forum, but I plan on using this scope on a variety of airguns and low recoil firearms and maybe some airsoft. Distances won't be further than 300 feet when shooting and my budget is around 150-200 euros. I'm looking for good eye relief if possible.
I've found this Vortex Diamondback 1.75-5x32 available here, is it any good? The Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 is also sold here for around the same price, should I go with that? Now I know about the no-competition rule here, but since this vendor isn't in the US and I can't order from your store, could someone check this website if they have anything else worth my while? (if I'm still breaking the rule, please edit my post admins/mods) Thanks for the suggestions guys! Edited by cheaptrick - April/06/2014 at 12:55 |

Welcome to Optics Talk.
While I appreciate your candor, your situation and your reluctance to break the ROE's here, I had to edit the link you posted, in the name of fairness. However, I'm sure the good folks of the forum can recommend a suitable option for you, according to your aforementioned requirements. Thank you in advance for your understanding and good shooting.

i have a vortex diamondback 2-7x that i have been using on a ar-15 for some time.
it is a very good scope for the money, clear ,bright and holds zero well. nikon makes good scopes as well , though generally prefer the vortex scopes over nikons provided their about the same price model. a really inexpensive scope that i have found to work pretty well is a BSA turkey plex 1.5-4.5X it seems pretty good on my 9mm ar-- i shoot it out to about 150 meters-- i don't know if you can find those out there. i'm sure that the diamondback if a far better scope than the BSA-- and vortex backs their products. |

Thanks cheaptrick, I understand completely.
JD548, that's nice to know. I'm hoping for others to give me some more feedback on this. |

Can't edit my post so sorry for the double post, I'm now set on the Nikon 4x32 Rimfire scope. I think it will do nicely and have read a lot of good reviews.
Anyone can confirm that? It's a heck of a lot cheaper too. |
