Twords the end of the thread you will see why.

maybe id be better off buying in local hardwear shop so.....just something handy then frank

I don't think it matters where you buy moreover what you buy.
I've spent close to 300 euro in the last year on powerpacks.
All I wanted was a handy one to run the etx.

Your normal run of the mill powerpack is not suited for running scopes.

You need what the lads describe at the end of the post I linked to.

It may indeed look like overkill but it'll save you huge amounts of
wasted money in the long run.

Ye i see what you mean its a bit of a nitemare alright....il have to give it some considering
