In anticipation of getting my first pcp, i ordered an Arken EPL-4 6-24x50. All the reviews I have read rate it a great value. They also have a EPL-4 4-16x44. Right now they are 25% off so they can be had for $337 - $367. According to the specs it has parallax down to 10 yards.

Initally, I was very interested in the Arken EP5
Almost ordered!
Thank goodness I discovered the 25 yard paralax was going to be a handicap for me personally.
Again, a lot of my shots, are well inside 25 yards, so I dfinately want a 10 yard paralax with my next scope purchase!
Thanks for the recomendation, and will take a look at the epl-4, as well as the ones others have previously mentioned.

Athlon Argos HMR 2x12x42 SFP daylight bright IR, super sweet wide field of view at 2x. Particularly useful for close range shooting like the 10 yards you stated. Clear, crisp glass, and a 1” tube to keep it light. Mine came with a gun purchase, so I didn’t choose it. But its proven a very nice scope.

Hawke Airmax. I own now 10 after just buying 2 more 3-9x40's from Dvor.com, who currently has them on sale for $179.00 for another hour from me typing this. Focuses down to a bit under 10 yards. Free to join Dvor and they also have flat rate shipping since I got both shipped for $9.95.

Forgot to add. What are you mounting this on? What kind of shooting will you be doing? What magnification range in a scope are you looking for? Are you shooting tiny targets? Hunting? Pest?...what kind? Lots of things to consider and everybody will just keep giving their recommendations that might not fit you.

I need 3x, and 3 scopes, for 3 airguns.
Going on 3 airguns, mostly shooting targets from 10 yards out to 100 yards.
Occasonially closer than 10 yards.
My high dollar rifle scopes are not going to work, for close distances.
I plan on buying 3 of the same, for different airguns.

In a lower price range the UTG 3-12x32 Bugbuster has parallax adjustment down to 3 yards.

The UTG, with 3 YARD PARALLAX, side focus, seems like an excellent close range scope!
How does it do at 50 and 100 yards?
Not expecting miracles with a sub $199 scope, but to be honest, this might be exactly what I am looking for.

It may not be best to buy all three scopes at the same time. Some build quality are better than others, and advertised parallax may be a yard or two off which sucks to find out at your 10 yards range. There's a whole list of different scopes on this page that I have tried. The Vector Veyron for the price is nice (get the illuminated version if hunting squirrel), and you cannot beat the Athlon Helos 2-12×44 for shooting or hunting.

I like that the Athlon Helos 2-12×44 is FFP, and has a 30mm tube, as opposed to 1".
But, 10 yard parallax is right on the border, for me personally....
3 yd. is sooo tempting.
Ive had 2 recent events, where a $2000 airgun/scope combo were almost useless, due to a sudden, close-range pest target.
Almost humilitating when this happens.
A $1000 scope become worthless, when the target is too close.
Id like to fix that situation, but I still need the scope to be funtional at 100 yards as well.
I may be asking for too much!
Time will tell....
