What scopes have you got and what are they worth?

What's Gary up to - is he back to gunsmithing out at Amberley??

Smiffy - here's a ballistics chart relating velocity to barrel length on 22s. You can get away with 10" - lose a bit - but yes 16" seems optimal. No gain from extra barrel length in couple of charts I've just seen:

That matches our experience. We tend to shoot out to 110m max with the 22LR (HV) and the shorter 16" barrels certainly do the business hard out to there.

Hi @mudgripz I dont have much left to be honest. The Nikko Mount asters with the AO were about $150 and the Airking a bit more. (Essentially an AO Gold crown for airguns) Not entirely sure if they ares till bringing Nikko in it has been so long since I had anything to do with them. I have a couple 4x32 (Some AO some not) and a couple others but the scopes I have left are mostly Nighteaters , Arctic Fox or Diamonds / Target masters . While I probably have something here to suit most tasks, I dont really have much in options. Always keen to help find new homes for them.

Gary is well. I think he is still rebuilding mills, lathes etc for the workshop, but you know Gary. It takes just as long as it takes to get it done.
