One on top of two Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 If your going old school I would take a look at the 8x56 . One of the best scopes for what you have in mind and used be nearly every keeper in the land at some point. And still do . https://www.uttings.co.uk/p105542-schmidt-and-bender-classic-fixed-power-hungarian-8x56-30mm-rifle-scope-sbh856alla7-057720/#.YcuqfS-nyfA fantastic kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ I have fitted a Pard 007A and Archer onto the back of a Polar 97 with very good result, in fact its the best scope that I have fitted a NV add on, it beats Hawke Sidewinder, Sightron 2.2-17 x56 ,Element Helix ,MTC viper and Rudolph scopes. Have you actually fitted a add on to a S&B polar 97? The field of view and clarity of the picture with the Polar is superior to the above mentioned scopes which are regarded as the to go too scopes with add-on NV.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with using cheaper scope with NV but its wrong to discount the good ones and say they don't perform, when the actually do, really well.
