Having recently sold my Brocock Ranger , I found myself with an extra optic. Not much action in the classified ads for a 4x prism scope . I contacted Athlon and asked if this particular scope would hold up on a lower powered springer (HW 30). They replied that it would indeed work and that there should be no issues. I mounted a spare Eagle vision dovetail to Picitinny rail and mounted the scope. This scope is a natural for off hand shooting at 20 to 30 yards. Just a heads up to any that may have one of these scopes spare , you might want to give it a try. Unfortunately , at 68 , my eyes won't let me shoot iron sights , but this gets the job done. That's my story and I'm sticking with it .
