So recently meet up with Modski66 and collected his Winchester. Its been a busy time and the weather has been rubbish so not had much opportunity to get it outside and try it out. Although last weekend it got a proper outing   It can easily shoot the maximum range my garden has to offer which is about 25m, although I did discover a problem at that range... I could barely make out the target if I've got my glasses on to line up the iron sights. I haven't used a scope for many years and definitely before my farsightedness took hold, are they like a red dot and you focus on the target so I wouldn't need glasses? Are there many options for fitting a scope to it? |

I do like these Walther winchesters i also like the fact they make a scope mount to fit it. but i am slightly bias as the Winchester is beyond a doubt my favourite rifle .    |

Shouldn't have either in my biased opinion... 🤪 Unless it's like the offset arrangement created by gunman1964. 👍 |

So i take it those that need reading glasses don't have any issues with a scope I don't think I need a moderator... My quarry doesn't seem to get spooked when I take out its neighbour.  I have seen the attachment that Umarex have but ideally I'd attached it to the top somehow, and I really like that scope that gunman1964 posted but I can only find examples in the US  |

Yes I watched your build and some impressive work went into yours, a little bit higher than my capability! Does your scope work or is it just for show? Not found anything remotely suitable in the UK yet most would come from the US |
