[newbie1970]

Hi to you all

I am hoping one or two of you may be able to help me, i have decided to get my son (should i say hes decided i will get him one) a skyhawk 1145pm and this will be his first scope.

What would be the best website to purchase this from and should i considor any extras to go with this or indeed an alternative scope to considor.

Many thanks

I'd start by clicking on the big blue link above - First Light Optics

I've just bought from Steve and he's very honest and helpful

Many others on here will tell you the same too!

Steve from FLO is your man! Goes above and beyond. Sterling service! Whats your budget firstly . . . .

[newbie1970]

The budget has come down a little since the ps3 was purchased, so i guess around the £150 ish, and i have no idea about scopes etc.

Graham,

I would endorse the sponor of this forum, FLO; perhaps even phone and speak to Steve, he will point you in the right direction and provide great after sales service.

You might want to ring as well if you get a chance - I know that First Light are very busy at the moment and there are only 2 of them I think !.
