I live in Finland and I have made two returns to Krale in Netherlands. Never been any trouble so I wouldn't worry about it.

Quality Compact Scopes
- Thread starter jps2486

I have some compact scopes. The Vector Veyron 10x I have is a fine scope, nice and clear and tracks well. For the price it's a steal, but only a 5 year warranty, so if it takes a dump down the road, it's trash. I also have a 3-12X Veyron that has been good, but took a dump the other day. I'm trying now to get in touch with Vector to see if I can get it warrantied.
I also have an Airmax compact 3-12X SF and it is a fantastic scope, clear as a bell and very nice lighted reticle. I've had it on several airguns and it performs every time. Someone said the Vector is better... I dunno about that. I will say, it's not far off, but you're comparing a $450 scope to a $150 scope. Money doesn't always mean better, but I would say the Airmax is a bit clearer, has a better illuminated reticle, better lens coatings, etc. The only place the Veyron beats it is in eye relief, the Airmax has only 3", while the Vector has more, like 3-1/2", it's noticeable when mounting, but it's not a big deal.
Never had a chance to use a Discovery, but would assume them to be in the Vector category, very good.

I have this on my Pathfinder XR, previously it was on my Atomic XR. A dandy little scope for sub 100 yard pesting…

I recently got an Accushot 3x12 side focus as part of a package when I bought a Feinwerkbau 150 air rifle. I have not tried the scope on anything, actually preferring diopters on this type rifle. I am by no means expert in examining a scope but can say it looks clear, nice mil dot reticule , and illuminated with both red and green settings. No idea of the price of one of these things. The only thing now I can say bad about it is that it weighs a ton, probably the heaviest scope I have seen.

I still like it very much, it is an excellent little scope atop my Pathfinder, FFP and a daylight bright IR. Ended this evening by making a hit on a wine cork, on end, at 50 yards. It has proven itself to me over and over again afield. YMMV…

Good to know! I've been thinking about getting one to put on my krait. It currently wear a 4-24x50 Vector that is super clear, but it's a tad long and I don't want to to add more weight to the front.

@JaceSpace1369, I had a similarly large scope on my Pathfinder. When I downsized to the WHT, it became a nimbler, lightweight, deadly rig.

As it is, it's nimble, super easy to shoot, especially offhand. But I will definitely be eyeing for your scope. I know the prices went up so I will be looking for deals.
