Master list of “close focus” scopes?

[carlos_hathcock]

My Athlon Ares BTR 2.5-15X 50mm FFP goes down to 10 yards, which is why I selected it. I would have preferred the higher magnification model but parallax goes up to 30 yards. About $730 at Optics Planet just now. Have been very happy with it.

Okie2,

your eyes are blurry from going through the specs on the scope manufacturers' webpages.....

I KNOW what you mean!!



So, here're 3 Scope Specs Tables.

Requirements to make it onto one of the tables:

▪10y side parallax

▪Hold-off reticle

▪Exposed turrets

▪Max. around $500

A tricky thing is whether a scope rated to focus at 10 yards will do it. My Arken EPL-4 6-24 will not. About 12 is it's minimum. My Athlon Talos 6-24 and my Athlon Ares? 10-40 will.

After years on the forums —
and years paying close attention to THAT particular detail —
I cannot recall hearing that about any other scope.
That's good!

I do have, however discovered scopes that say 15y on the dial — but they parallax down to 12y or 10y.
