Scope for SR-25

[Ronan]

Hey i'm having a bit of a problem choosing a scope for my CA25/G&P SR25.

I'm thinking 3-9x40mm illuminated. Pretty much found a TASCO like that http://www.opticsplanet.net/tasco-3-...iflescope.html but i'm not sure if it's good.

Buska makes some nice one's but i have been told it's to big http://www.opticsplanet.net/barska-h...-12x50-ir.html

Any idea what to get? I was told multiple times to stick with a real scope b/c the airsoft one's aren't as good.

My budget for the scope is $50-$80.

For my sr-15 project i would probably go for this one http://www.uscav.com/Productinfo.asp...ID=1&CatID=131

My friend has that scope. Paid a bit more if i recall correctly. I wasn't impress by the finish, it felt like very cheap rubber and like the pop up scope cover would break off easily

ah good to know i will save my buck and look for something else then

Dude, seriously.. do you honestly expect to land a good scope on that budget?

That's not even enough for a decent RDS.

M3 replica. King Arms, G&P and Star.

A good set of iron sights cost in the same area of price lol, decent replica optics go for lowest 80$, usually around 100$.

Generally speaking, almost every scope (even the cheapies) outperform even the best airsoft gun. No need to spend a fortune. Save that money for the gun!

Whatever replica you purchase will most likely be made in China so suck it up princess...

OK so you order a 3-12x40mm scope and rings and Sunshade for $50 I consider
that a damn deal for the price. considering its more.. check out reviews on these things.. they work great on .22 rimfire but anything bigger they arent as good.. Your shooting a damn Airsoft rifle not a 30-06. Plus IMHO spending $200 for a replica when you can get a full package for $50 is sick. ill do a review on mine when I get it in..

Besides, a big honking scope with tons of magnification is next to useless on an airsoft gun, even a highly upgraded one. I run a 4-12 X 50mm on my Tanaka M700 AICS and I almost never take it off the lowest setting - since you're shooting at such a close range (100m and under), when you use a huge zoom and your target moves even a foot or two, he's completely out of the reticle.

Whoever told you airsoft scopes aren't good is a moron. There are quite a few that are just as good as low-end "real" scopes. I use chinese knockoffs on 2 of my real-steel rifles, and there's an excellent review on 1337tactical.com on chinese scopes on Tikka tactical rifles shooting .223 and .338WM:

I have 2 of their scopes, one I just replaced with a Leupold.
But they are designed for real steel and are amazing bang for the buck.

Classic Army Elcan reproduction with rubberized outter shell, around $200 and is good looking with 2.5X red and green lit reticle is perfect for airsoft and is theme appropriate for a rifleman's SR25.

P.S. These scopes have a wide enough field of view that it works fine for airsoft even at close in distances...
