Best compact scope
- Thread starter addison
- Start date
Budget? Magnification? Application? Target size and weight?
Cheapest would be bug buster or eBay Chinese direct scopes.
Cheapest quality version would be vector Veyron scope especially 3-12.

i happen to have one for sale in the classified.
In the middle is swfa but no parallax:

The other end of spectrum is kahles which I would say is the best with the “best” price tag too.

Optics Planet probably cheapest for the Vector Veyron SFP the FFP kinda hard to see the reticle from 3-7x especially with no illumination.
Too cheap 4u?
Want the Cadillac version instead?
It's essentially a US Optics TS12x at roughly 1/3 - 1/4 the price.

OR! Buy the Cadillac version!!!

Early indications have this one as quite promising. It’s in SFP and supposedly has a daylight bright center dot. Again, not sure of the details but already has credible recommendation.

mid you look up what he said about the USOptic version then you will know why I said chedillac. LOL
it would help if you tell us more about what you are looking for besides compact scope. Your definition of compact scope might not be the same as others.

You will probably buy more of this specific Leupold at regular price after this sale ends and retire your SWFA SS side focus or sell it to me.

I used this scope on all my air rifles:

It's a 4-16X44 and measures 12" end to end.
It has a 30mm tube for more light transfer,
It also has an etched glass reticle so not even my RWS Diana model 48 springer from 1982 will kill it.
It has illuminated reticules if you need them.
Good magnification and clarity all for less than $200.
Do you really need a $500 scope for shooting 100 yards or less??
Good Luck!!
Will
