Edgun Leishy 2 - Scope Options? High budget

[C158]

Hello!

Looking for options for my L2 as backup if I cannot get my Dedal soon from Brian....

-Budget $1500 (scope only)

-Power: ?? I would like to keep it compact. so 8x is what I was thinking, but open to others.



I really like the NF 1-8, but their parallax is set way to far out, which is the issue with many scopes. I reallly want the new March Short 1-10, but not spending the money on it. But hopefully you see where I am trying to head. Anyways, $1500 or so.....thanks for the suggestions.

Uso ts-12x, nice, compact and be found somewhat reasonably (leaves ya more to put towards that March!)

3-12x with a 10y min parallax

At least consider an Immersive Optics 5x24 -- not bling but works great with an L2.

Athlon Helos BTR 3-12x44 FFP are compact and light with decent glass and illuminated reticle.

Do you mean the 2-12x44? And if so, it’s not light by any means!

Clicked on the title thinking gonna suggest a March compact, then saw that was suggested. Then my second suggestion was a USO TS-12 (which I own). Saw that was suggested also. There seems to be a serious lack of high end compact scopes.

What about a Vortex Razor HD LHT 3-15x42?

The Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 1-8x24 has 50 yard parallax & could possibly be adjusted closer.

Way cheaper than your budget but I do think it's a great scope for its price point. Might get you by until the Dedal comes in.

It's short for a 1-8x24 but I don't recall the weight.

I would recommend the Nightforce NXS 2.5-12x42. If I had your budget, I would look no further….JMO

Way below your budget but another vote for the Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 2-12×42. Length is 11.8" and weight is 22.6 ounces. Not exactly lightweight but it's not that bad. I like the reticle for fast engagement in the 4x, 6x, and 8x magnification range. Another suggestion but a little over your budget is a Nightforce NX8 2.5-20X50. They have FFP and SFP available now. It focuses down to 11 yards, length is 12.00", and weight is 28.3 ounces. Again, not exactly lightweight but there's not that many options unless you go with an LPVO. Cost is around $1950 but I've seen some open box go for around $1750. If you don't mind used, you might be able to get better deals.

I have recently put a Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x42mm on my red wolf and love it. Not to big, not to heavy.

Athlon Helos BTR 3-12x44 FFP are compact and light with decent glass and illuminated reticle.

Do you mean the 2-12x44? And if so, it’s not light by any means!

Not light to you…light to me…..

On an L2, I would pick one of the prismatic scopes, immersive optics ect, keep the extra $1000. For another project.

Fair enough, but in a world of scopes, Athlon’s tend to be on the heavier side!

Goodness, haven't you heard us talking about the Immersives? It is a hold over scope (not a clicker) @ 1/2 or less Dedal price. At least study on it.

I really want to do this on my L2...

I've got a whole thread about the Vortex 5x prism on an L2. Hope your neck is long and flexible. Amazing scope though. Just wish it worked on the L2

 

[Ricochet]

Soery @ricochet -- it was about my 1720t, not my L2 -- LOTS of Spitfire info in here tho:

The vanishing OP. Maybe he found a Dedal Stalker? Maybe the high prices scared him away?
