    After reading the various reviews on Richter Optik Rifle 'Scopes, I thought I would just like to add a few comments of my own.
    I have no less than six of these 'Scopes. All are 3-9x50 with illuminated reticules. One is on a .22 BSA Lightning Tactical 'Springer, One on a .22 Air Arms S410K PCP, One on an Air Arms S410 Extra PCP(FAC rated) , One on an Anschutz .22 Rimmie, the fifth on a .17HMR CZ American and, finally, the sixth on an old BSA .177 Meteor.
    Frankly, I cannot fault these 'Scopes. O.K., occasionally I have to double check for Zero, but no more than I ever have had to do with 'scopes costing far, far more than these do.
    Unless you are shooting at over 200 yards as some 'heroes' do, these sensibly priced 'scopes are well adequate for most shooters needs.
    Worried about the light gathering capabilities compared to more expensive optics ? Then get a gun lamp and really see what you are doing !
    I use a Lightforce 140, a Tracer Max and a Ledray GL4, all sensibly priced units from Deben whose service and attention, are second to none.
    Most problems I hear about are with poorly mounted mounts and poorly mounted 'scopes which are then poorly zeroed. It 'aint Rocket Science, but it must be done properly. If you can't do it yourself, get someone who does know what he is doing !
    Finally, EVERY time you go out shooting, first, check your zero! - I do this, even when shooting over open sights.

    Ok.got this as part of a deal with a commeta 400.looks great on the gun and after zeroing it in it worked a treat.packrd it up over night and went to use a while later and found it had just un zero'd! by a good few inches too.it happened a few times to me after re alighning.think this is suited to a gun with no recoil at all. Unfortunatly the commeta has some.would like to try it on a rifle as it is so clear and a treat to shoot with

    I have just bought an s200 which now i have my new scope i am over the moon with but when i first bought it there was a Richter Optik 3-9 x 40 scope attached. Never seen one of these before so i decided to give it a chance at £50 on the price of my package. On first impression i was quite pleased with it the optics are nice and clear and the overall finish is good BUT and it a big BUT when i got to the range i found it hard to zero once i had zeroed it i decided to take some bunnys out at ...

    Right first of all you get what you pay for right? A friend of mine has beautiful German glass that is crystal bright, the Richter isn't in this class, it doesn't pretend to be.
    What it does give you is perfectly clear, totally usable vision across all of the mags on the 3-9x zoom. The lenses make great use of the light that comes in so much so that even with camouflage veil across the 40mm lense it is usable well into the twilight ( mine is the non illuminated reticule version). The leaflet th ...
