Master list of “close focus” scopes?

[Okie2]

I have been searching for new scopes and having trouble finding scopes that focus down to 10-15 yards (like WE like). Major scope retailers don’t have a search engine as different manufactures use different terms such as EFR. My eyes are blurry from going to each manufacturers’ website & looking at the specs for each scope. Leupold has 2, Nikon 1, Burris nope, Weaver not anymore. Ideas beside going to airgun dealer sites? Ty

I don't have that list but it would be awesome to see.

Here's the first one I could think of... https://leapers.com/index.php?act=prod_detail&status=best&itemno=SCP-M392AOLWQ

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

March brand scope sale ends soon 10% off its the best 10 yard focus scope an airgunner can buy.

Search recent optics section lookup search brand MARCH.

They NEVER GO ON SALE!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARCH BRAND SCOPES!

 

[Odoyle]

Buying medium priced to med high priced section that are Chinese made QC varies may not be reasonably priced based on what you get unfortunately you won't know if your eyes like them.till after the fact but honestly most aren't worth the price of admission IMHHHO.

You got the A6 incoming so that is what you use to compare all your high dollar scopes to you be REALLY surprised.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS Be sure to buy from return friendly dealers then you be fine. You probably be returning a lot of more expensive scopes after this.

BOTH 2.5-15x50 and 4.5-27x50 focus down to 10 yards.

If you like the $699 SWFA SS 3-15x42 you will probably like these even better.

 

[KiwiKozak]

Discovery VT-2 3-12x44 goes to 10m (just over 10 yds).

Ohhunt Sniper VT (also sold as Sniper-VT) goes to 3 yds and is FFP, IR 3-12x32 and incredibly compact at 204mm and 409g.

Hawke 2-7x32 AOIR HD Sport goes to 3m too.

My Leupold Rimfire 3-9x40 (non-AO) arrived but was overcast and rainy to give it a fair go but it's incredible during night time. It's supposed to have a 60 yard parallax but testing to follow pending nice clear day...

Thanks for those master lists. Good info!

Hello everyone. I’m new on this forum and in this sport, let me refresh this thread with some newer info:
I recently bought Uragan 2 700mm .25cal with Vector Optics Taurus 4-24x50 FFP scope and its parallax adjustment starts from 15yrds. It is not cheap, approximately 300€, but it certainly isn’t expensive either.
It also has mpx1 reticle and illuminated red dot. Great scope IMHO
All best,
S

Discovery Optics HD 2-12x24 FFP focuses down to 5yds.......165 from DiscoveryOpt.us

I guess it's time to update my 3 Scope Specs Tables — that respond directly to this thread's request for a "list of close focus scopes."


Requirements to make it onto one of the Specs Tables:
⭓ 10y side parallax (rarely 15y)

⭓ Hold-off reticle

⭓ Exposed turrets

What's cool about this little gem is that you can also set parallax at around 30-40 yards and it is virtually parallax free and in focus at all ranges and doesn't need fiddled with while hunting.

Thanks for that info! I haven't tried that but I will! Ha!

Thanks brother. I was just thinking about trying to find one of the old threads with these tables for a quick search.

Thanks brother. I was just thinking about trying to find one of the old threads with these tables for a quick search.

Yeah, from the last time I posted the Scope Specs Tables on this thread — I added a lot of new scopes and expanded into higher price levels as well.
The amount of choices we have nowadays is just wonderful (and rather bewildering & confusing — that's why I made the Specs Tables...)
