Other PP700 optics set up?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Ray, this is my Notos which is pretty much the same platform and I put this tiny Discovery Optics HD 2-12x24 FFP scope on it recently and it focuses down to 5yds, nice glass with an illuminated reticle TYD from DiscoveryOpt.us site no tax free shipping from CA I believe...

Discovery VT-3 3-12x44 FFP
— almost the same looks and specs as the USO 3-12x44 FFP


I recently dremeled an extension of the dovetail rail into the non-functioning shroud to give me more flexibility for mounting — a cantilever mount will save you the dremel work.

Killing pigeons out to 60y.
Even found the space for a Tactacam on this rig.

Great gun for the money...!

Maybe I should have been a bit more specific. I have the early "W" model, not the SA so I don't have the added mounting area above the barrel. But wow, I like that setup right there. 60 yards!!!! is that with a .22 or a .177? Nice rig right there.
Thx

I just took the red dot off to put on a new 2240xl. Will put the 2-6x pistol scope back on the PP700. Think I will be shooting the 2240 for indoor practice more this winter. I do like the PP700 because it was rare to find a pistol that is hunting power and can actually be shot like pistol, not a convoluted rifle conversion with a short eye relief scope. If I want to shoot a rifle, I have other rifles.

Thanks! 😊

It's a .22cal. — My fingers don't do so well with anything smaller than that...


With an extra long cantilever mount you can do pretty much anything, even without the shroud rail. I have a collection of specs with links for those mounts, let me know if you're interested. 👍🏼

I've had a 2x BSA on mine and now I have a 2moa red dot. It's so powerful for it's size that it's just begging to have a shoulder stock and rifle scope. I'm so torn between leaving it a pistol or converting it. I've read a lot about EFT and HFT and I'm liking the idea of leaving it in pistol form with a rifle scope and shoot it rested for accuracy. That's one reason I was curious as to what others were using for optics.

Thx

I am fighting the urge to put a scope on a pistol, It just don't seem right, But my eye sight does not let me shoot only 10 to 20 feet with open sights , Red dots are great if I just want to hit the can at 30 yards,, Maybe a cheap scope just to try out , Well maybe , I will have to think about it, and look at Y'alls guns and just see, Thanks for the pictures, I am thinking now..

I have had my PP700SA for about 4 years now. I had lots of leak issues, but once sorted, it has been excellent. I left the regulator as delivered regulating at 100 bar. I fill to 200 bar and can shoot 40 shots at a little over 600 fps before I reach tank pressure of 100 bar. I have hit birds at 100 meters in trees with this pistol. I have to hold over the target about 3 feet at 100 meters using the 15 gr JSB .22 pellet. I use a reflex sight with no magnification zeroed at 25 meters. This gives me a wide field of view of target viewage when holding high or low at short range, but I also modified a small Chinese laser to mount on the left side of the shroud. The shroud on this pistol hosts a dovetail slot on the side. I used that to mount the laser. The laser mounts with the beam just a 1/2 " left of barrel center and it is aligned dead parallel to the barrel. This laser is very useful for pesting mice at short distances, as the reflex sight requires a hold over guess depending on the target distance due to the reflex sight mounting height above the barrel line. I also use a 22 cal pellet tube to reload the gun. Very simple and relatively fast.
