Review | Golden Eagle 4x32 rifle scope



The hell with Aramex Shop & Sh!t service, I bought a rifle scope from a firearm store here in Kuwait.

Just like Japan fighting aside with the Germans in the world war; this Japanese scope makes a perfect match with my German air-rifle. I could not find a better scope with a decent price tag other than this one. It costs 20KD where the same model (4x32) made by Gamo costs around 35KD and the top of the line Gamo 3-9x32 (w/zoom) costs 55KD.

It comes with two-piece scope mounting rings (11mm dovetails), protection caps, and soft cloth for cleaning the lens. Water proof, fog proof, shock proof, Multi-X / Duplex reticle, and very light in weight making it reliable for any weather situation. The eye relief is about 3" which is perfect.

Sighting-in the scope took me a little over two hours. It was a bit hard but eventually I managed to do it and it was all worth the effort. Using my friend's Bi-pod I was able to shoot cigs from 25 meters with pointed pellets. Keep in mind when you want to sight-in your scope to start close to your target, adjust the levels then keep moving away while adjusting it until you reach over 25 meters.

I took these pictures before adjusting and tightening the scope perfectly hence you see the mounting rings pushed a bit to the front of the dovetails rail.

Yallah mabrook..any suggestions for a beginning shooter? So far I've never done air rifles, been handling the .22 Hornets, 7.62, and various handguns.

You're pretty good, doing your own sighting adjustments and able to hit a cigarette at 25 yards. :-) Have you done military service?

linus:
lol! Practicing on moving targets is cool, ask him to run and I'll aim. :D


enigma:
*poses with his rifle* :D


farragoes:
Thanks man, inshallah whenever you like. ;)

Air rifles are no fun compared to real firearms like the ones you've used, however, they are fun for target practicing. I would highly recommend my rifle (diana panther 31) but the problem is its overpriced out here (100KD), if that is no problem with you then it's the best in the market.


missy:
Target practicing & pest control (rats at the farm).



anonymous:
It is one of the best. :D
I haven't found Golden Eagle's site but if you are in Kuwait there's a store in Farwaniya that sells them.


ms loala:
Unfortunately, yes. But I'm willing to take them all down. :D


jaz:
LMAO! Man wait till you try it. You'd go and get one yourself. :D



3abeer:
Anything goes. :P


navy g:
Playing with these things is prohibited. :P


intlxpatr:
Yes, I love target practicing. I used to have all kinds of slingshots, now I took it to another level. ;)
And no I have not done military service but I had a short experience in military school.

Wanna hear how things are going at your school. And your plans for next school year.

MacaholiQ8 said...

Sure, I will try to post about it soon. :)

MacaholiQ8 said...

Yes.

you call that little piss fart a scope and by the way you moron you must use a one piece mount for the air gun you have which looks to be a Diana mod 34 panther.

Wow, you are really smart for an Indian.

First of all I'm free to use any mount I like. It's preferred to use a one-piece mount but it's not mandatory. Besides, having a scope stop piece will resolve the two-piece mount issues.

Two... My DIANA air rifle is 31 Panther and not the mod 34 (they look identical but they're not the same).

Three... We have arms dealers and we can have firearms permit/license from the ministry of interior and it's not hard. However, Kuwait has strict firearm laws to prevent wax-heads like you from obtaining them.

Four... It's called Shaq (with Q not K). And by knowing that I will presume either you or your father used to work as a barber or in the satellite business with some Pakis.

Last but not least... You shouldn't be posting about scopes and firearms with the sh!t hole your country's going through lately. Grab a stone, ride your elephant, and go save some hostages.

Oh and just to let you know...

Hi MacaholiQ8,

I found a Golden Eagle rifle scope here in Saudi Arabia and it retails for SR260. I just want to ask you, have you had any issue with this scope such as the crosshair getting knocked out of alignment???

I have had the same problem with a Bushnell scope made in China.

MacaholiQ8 said...

Mine is great, no problems so far. I just need a scope stop since my chinese mounts (bought separately) tend to loosen up more often.

Alfred said...

This too is a great one. Read the review its a great scope.

I have a golden eagle rifle scope 4 x 32. When I was adjusting the scope, the centre hailine focus has damaged. Is there any place in India who can repair or replace it
