Compact scope recommendations

[scubajeeper]

I have a buddy with a Veyron compact SFP and he is looking for something better. He is having trouble seeing the crosshairs and is wanting something that has a thicker reticle. He would like a light weight compact and is willing to go as high as $700-800. What would you suggest out of the scopes you have real world experience with?

Thanks

I have 2 of the veyron 4-12 myself. I like the scopes a lot but reticle is thin. Awesome for punching small holes in paper. Gets lost kinda easily while hunting. Last compact I got was a Marcool 4-12. Similar size and specs to the veyron with a thicker reticle. I like the reticle a lot actually. Awesome compact scope(for money) and only $100 or was before the china tariff crap.

If I wanted to spend more money I’d look into a Optisan or USO(TS-12x). Hear great things about both.

Here’s that Marcool on my Katran.

I have heard that prism scopes as a class, like that Pinty acog clone, have differences in the optics that better suit some people's vision over (linear erector) regular length scopes. But prism scopes are mostly single magnification.
I have Immersive 5x30 and 10x40 mildot prism scopes, and while the crosshairs are fairly fine, they illuminate very well and sharply. These are unusual prism scopes in that they have parallax adjustment or focus from infinity down to just a few yards (they say 6 but I measure closer to three). The 5x30 has a normal eye relief of a couple inches but the 10x40 has almost no eye relief; the eyeball must be very close to the eyepiece, like a tele-scope not a rifle-scope. Immersive also makes a 10x24 and 14x50 short eye relief and a 5x24 longer eye relief. The longer eye relief scopes have a large field of view for their manification, and the short eye relief scopes have a huge field of view; my 10x40 has the field of view of a 3 or 4x regular scope. Pros and cons.
Immersives under the Element or MTC rebrand are ~$600 but Immersives under the Immersive name from the UK are half that.

"Immersive" Prism Scopes

Any of the brands/rebadges. I've been on the fence about trying one for awhile, but have always had some reservations. These have been making the rounds for a few years now at least. The reviewers will speak to how great they are. Game changers they say. However, you almost never see them being...
