What Scope are you running?

[Sawney Bean]

One of the things that would be a deal breaker for me on a lot of the popular scopes is the parallax range. It wouldn't bother me on a centerfire rifle, but on an airgun or rimfire I want the parallax to go down to a minimum of 15m and preferably 10m and I'll pay more to get a scope that does that.

It's why I chose to order the Vortex Strike Eagle over the Arken EP5 despite the EP5 getting fantastic reviews from virtually everyone and costing $150 less. 25m is just not an ideal minimum parallax for an airgun and if I'm spending $500+ on a scope I want it to be as close to ideal as possible.

Tract Toric is my favorite!

 

[JaceSpace1369]

Vector veyron line, vortex diamondback tactical 4-16x44, arken sh4, ep4, ep5 (heady scopes though), sightron, and on the low end monstrum.

I have a SFP Hawke Sidewinder 6x24x56 (old one), FFP Discovery VT-T 4.5X18X44, SFP Athlon Midas BTR Gen2 4.5x27x50. Love them all

arken, athlon, MTC, vortex, burris, discovery, all do very well for me.....

For BR i really like my Athlon Ares, but at half the price, i think i'm gonna try one of these. Looking around it seems it just lacking illum reticle. On sale today

Sightron S3 3-10
Weaver Grand Slam Tactical 3-10
Blackhawk 3-9 (rebranded Weaver Tactical)
Leupold 2-7 rimfire

Really hooked on Japanese glass. Those little Weaver Tacticals are great. 1" tubes, mildots, SFP, lightweight, Japanese glass, resetable turrets. I keep the objective loose for a redneck parallax adjuster.

I have a Hawke Vantage Side Focus 4-16x44mm on my HW100S. I have thought about getting an Athlon Argos HMR 2-12x 42mm; sometimes when squirrel hunting the shots are up close or on moving targets and wider field of view would be welcome. Magnification over 12 is only rarely used.

ZEISS LRP S3 425 MRAD with ZF-MRi reticle

All the rest of my scopes are now just memories..........

 

[Peashooter]

So far i have 2 different Vector Optics scopes and then my old Hawke Eclipse.

@Arkansas_Airgunner I have bought various scopes for different purposes. Your question is extremely vague as is my response above. What do you intend to do with said scope? Knowing your application for the scope in question helps a lot when it comes to garnering useful responses.

Hawke Airmax. I recommend the 2-7x32. Very bright, very light. Impeccable warranty.

 

[Stickbow]

I am potentially about to get some new glass for 1 of my rifles, or new rifle, and there are a few scopes out there that I have my eye on. Not going to bring names to light just yet, as I am trying to determine cost over return. To name a few of the ones I already have are as follows and are decent entry to mid level optics:

1. Arken
2. Athlon
2. Blackhound
4. Monstrum
5. Vortex

I'm really thinking about getting into Teir 1 territory but so far am unsure.

Just wanted to know what everyone else might be running on their PCP Rifles so as to help me to guage my next purchase. Thanx for the read guys and I look forward to seeing what everyone else is running too.

Sightron 10-50x60 ft awesome scope

 

[orangeokie]

Most of my scopes are Optisan. 10m parallax. Love the reticles. I own a couple of Arkens (for Paradigm and Crown) and a few Hawke (one zero eye relief) and one S.W.A.T. (zero eye relief) The two zero eye relief scopes are on my Akela and PRod.

 

[GotMilk2]

Look at Meopta scopes at Sports Optics. I have the Optika5 4-20 X50 RD excellent glass with lifetime warranty!

I do a little bit of almost everything...from plinking/paper punching out to around 100 yds, to hunting everything from squirrels to monster whitetails and hogs, to ringing steel @ 500+ yards.

 

[Wait_what]

CV life AO scopes of varying magnification from Amazon. $40-$60 each

 

[RadioFlyer]

Could not agree more with maxtrouble! Hawke Airmax 2-7x32 @ 130 yrds on 5x target size 1.5” with Sixty 60 year old eyes. That’s at 880 fps with .25 cal utilizing 25.39 JSB In No wind. Great little scope & an outstanding warranty.

Delta Stryker HD 3.5-21x44 & Sightron s-tac 3-16x42 ffp
