The Richter Optik are a great range of scopes offering amazing value for money and very good quality optics. All of our Richter Optic Scopes come with a set if fitted flip up scope covers. Nice clear optics and crisp Mil Dot reticle with a very good standard of finish. This 3-9 x 50 AO scope gives variable 3x to 9x magnification and a big 50mm adjustable objective (AO) lens gives good light gathering. A decent scope for low light use in a .22 Rimfire and I've even seen forum posts from guys using them on 17HMR's and Centrefires. Also intersting to see several forum posts comparing them with the far more expensive hawke scopes. Now, don't get me started on Hawke's - I've had two and both failed to focus but Deben would do nowt about them......I digress!

To get a handle on these scopes we fitted one to an Anschutz Bolt Action .22LR and one to a .177 HW100 which we later moved onto an SMK springer.

We've had the one on the Anschutz Rifle for 8 months and from day one it shot fantastic groups and it has never budged a bit. The rifle and scope have had some stick around our shoot and they have plugged hundred's of bunnies and I'd not hesitate in recommending the brand and I won't be changing the scope. In my opinion the scope is very sturdy and I've tested this to the limit having it banging around in the vehicle. I'm using the 3-9 x 50 model so light gathering is good enough for me up until the point I can no longer see to spot bunnies. I like the flip up covers and they saved me a tenner!!

On the HW100 my 12 year old lad tested the 4-16 x 50 on rabbits for a month and managed 170 rabbits and he's never complained once. I'd taken an MTC Viper off this rifle without telling him and he never said a word so I don't even know if he noticed? OK the light gathering at the very last bit of light isn't as good as the MTC but it costs a fraction of the price and I can assure you that it ran it close enough for it to be a fantastic option for the budget conscious shooter looking for a robust, practical and reliable scope that will work well in practical hunting conditions.

When we stuck the 4-16 x 50 onto the SMK Springer we had an interesting experience!! My little lad moved the scope from the HW100 to the SMK XS-36 and fitted SMK mounts. He then proceeded to zero it and could not manage to hold a decent group and eventually gave up. I checked and found that the mounts were poorly machined and were moving so we put on a set of Sportsmatch mounts and that was the job sorted. We have kept the XS-36 in the office for the last 2 months and used it regularly to shoot rabbits in the back field as well as Rooks & Jackdaws of the bird table - we have now upt a tin of 500 pellets through this combo and the zero is still spot on which I'm chuffed about as the XS-36 has a pretty evil thump!
