silver scope and bipod

garv123

So my local RFD told me that my he'll eat his hat if I dont have my licences in 3 weeks after handing it in friday night.

I'm looking to keep with the colour of the rifle and barrel and get silver scope and bi-pod. Ive seen a few scopes but no bi-pods.

Anyone know of a decent 9-13ish bi-pod in silver that i could get?


any one any experience with NcSTAR scopes
http://www.amazon.com/NcSTAR%C2%AE-24x50-Illuminated-Reticle-SILVER/dp/B003G2S88K/ref=sr_1_140?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1316389577&sr=1-140

or have they any links to any silver scopes with a budget of around €200 ish, its for a hmr and was looking for abit more than 3-9 mag

A lot of scope amnufacturers do a line of scope in silver.

• Simmons
• Nikon
• NcStar
• Leupold
• Konus
• AGS
• Weaver
• Bushnell

Things is the Bushnell, NCStar, Nikon, AGS and Simmons would possibly the only ones within your price range and only Bushnell, NCStar, and possibly Nikon could "handle" a C/F rifle. (Not sure what caliber its going on)

As for bipods, i haven't seen a harris style bipod in silver. Plenty of F-Class in silver. Perhaps a standard Harris then a touch of metallic silver spray paint?

cheers Ez its going on a marlin 917vs .17 hmr.
i was considering picking up a knock off harris on amazon and trying spraying the legs. if it turns out disaster and looks tacky least its not the price of a real harris gone to crap.


The link to the scope i put up is in boston and its a NcSTAR® 6 - 24x50 mm AOE Illuminated Mil - Dot Reticle Scope. would there be any problems with it coming from the states?

Stay away from the NC Star they are a piece of crap.
You would be much better served with a simmons or even a hawke both of which are available in silver.

I've seen a few of them give trouble with holding zero.
The last one was on a ruger 10/22 after 20to40 shots zero was gone again. The other one was on a Marlin .17hmr same story.

Fair enough. i emailed hawke and they said they no longer do silver scopes.

anyone care to give an opinion on these or which one would be best.

Nikon buckmaster 4.5-14 x 40

Bunshell elite 3200 3-9x40

bunshell trophy xlt 3-9-40

I have seen a few silver scopes on rifles and thought they looked crap.
Its very unlikely that you will get one the same colour as the rifle.

Of those 3 I'd pick the Nikon.
Definitely the equal of the Bushnell 4200 I now have.
The reason I changed was because the minimum focus on the Nikon was 50yds. The Bushnell goes down to 25.
