Are there any scope that is fixed at about 10 magnification with an parallax adjustment down to airgun range?
fix mag with adjustable parallax?
- Thread starter DaBinChe
- Start date
SWFA markets several models, they focus down to 10m. Leapers sells two, 10yd min. Sightron has a 10x that focuses to 10yds.
Good luck.

Hawke sidewinder 10x42. I found I always left my magnifications at 10 on all my scopes, so I got a pre-loved example from a bulletin board.
Easily focuses down to 10yards.
Now sitting on (and rather dominating) my sub 12fpe HW100k shorty bullpup.https://1drv.ms/i/s!AiMHMTfBnAeBm34D0km3YJCF3zHC:

so doing some research on recommended, I'm leaning towards the SWFA: http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-10x42M-Tactical-Riflescope-P53713.aspx
It has pretty much everything I'm looking for and I think made in Japan, doesn't say on their website but reviewers say so. Still need to do more research into it and other scopes as well. Yes cost is a major factor but I want to get some quality too, best bang for the buck...

I have owned the Hawke 10x and several SWFA scopes . No comparison in the two ..SWFA Everytime. Better glass an perfect tracking plus cool recticle. And yes they are made at LOW in Japan

I've had a number of Hawke scopes and I like them ok if they are from the sidewinder line. And I'm sure I would like the Frontier line if I did try one, but some of the Hawke scopes from their less expensive lines I didn't like as much. I have a SSFA 16x44 on my Maximus and its a nice scope.

So I think I narrowed it down to a SWFA with MIL Quad and MIL turrets.
Not sure if I want the side or rear parallax adjust. My current scope 4-14x42 is the first with a parallax adjustment, has it on the side. So I hear that a side knob is more course then a front/rear. Is this cause it is just a smaller knob, then wouldn't a larger side wheel make it finer....or is it feel or range of rotation?

I've owned both and for me I honestly don't have a preference. Even if the price was identical I wouldn't care either way . The SWFA stuff kicks ass . Your gonna love it . When you get it in do a review !!

So the other thing I was wondering is magnification. SWFA comes in a 10x, 12x, and 16x. This scope will end up on my Mutant Short for hunting. The plan is to be mostly in the 50yd/meter range, probably what zero will be, but maybe down to 10meters and really no more then 100meters. I need to play around with my 4-14x42 in the 10-14 range to get a better feel. I really have virtually no experience with scopes, or at least anything more then a cheap $20 4x magnification from Wally World. My 4-14x magnification I just got this summer and find that I really only leave it on the larger end of magnification, just need to figure out what I like. What magnification do y'all find you like and why?

For me personally I like the 10x . The milquad Is a very fine crosshair and you can aim real precisely. As you increase power in the SWFA line you start loosing brightness. It's not bad but when you look thru them back to back it is noticeable. There is almost NO noticeable difference in the 10 and 12 power , but the 16 starts getting a little shady and the 20 is hard to use unless your at an open shooting range .
Where I live it's pretty much heavy timber so brightness means a lot . I have owned all of them from the 6 to the 20 power . The 10 is my favorite. Good magnification and good fuel of view .
But guys who live in more open country would probably pick a slightly higher power one.
I have a 6 power on my crossbow and it kicks ass !

I have both the 12x and the 10x for your mutant short I highly recommend the 10x. In my opinion SWFA fixed scopes are the best thing on the market for airguns because the mil-quad reticle and very precise mrad turrets, not to mention the price point.

Have a look at Edgun 12x44 scope. It looks perfect to me.

That looks like a great package, but how's the glass? Ask your friend about the glass compared to something.....
The unfortunate thing is that I'm on a budget, if I get that Leupold FX3 12x then that will be it don't think I'll get another at least not in the near future. Set with one fix and one variable.

I am a scope junkie and am down to about 15 at the present time. I have a SWFA SS 10 x42 MIL-QUAD. It is a great scope with very solid turrets. It is a no-frills scope with good glass and very good mechanics. I sent you a pm.
