4x40 Tasco from the early 90's. Been on a .303,.270, 6.5x55 and a few .22's. Been on the Toz .22 since 1998 and never missed a beat. Clarity of glass is incredible for the price. Shot thousands of...

I've got a Guncity 3-9 x 40 and a Niko Sterling Gameking 4-16 x 44 that are in my spare scope drawer. The only real reason I've hung on to them is they're not worth the effort of trying to sell....

4x32 Miroku (Bentley) from about 1978. I have to admit its not even in a set of rings as as spare at the moment but I can't bring myself to part with it. Other retired scopes like a couple of VX-1...

4x32 Kahles, bought new from Wilhelm Arms and Optics in the late 80's, no one would give you a thankyou for such a scope today but it has never moved despite knocks and crashes over banks etc

Yep, that's Lee. He was besotted with those RX7's. He wrote another book, 'Straight from the horses arse'. Another ripping yarn, but I can attest that its not a work of fiction...it all happened...

If it is meant to deliver sweets to kiddies you need to read a book "Shooting from the Lip" by Lee Hughs. Hughs was a Gunnery Officer, and after he got out wrote a couple of books regaling all and...
