Quality Scope for Bull Pup

[Nick47]

I have a WC .25 Compact with a MTC Cobra 4-16 x 50 FFP and IL reticle. I like the scope and the glass is very clear. I also like the IL reticle as I often hunt at night; and, It certainly helps to acquire the target. On the other hand, the scope weighs 25.2 oz and is 13.1 " long. The length is half the size of the rifle without the moderator. The bull pup, in my opinion, is basically a hunting platform designed for maneuverability and rapid target acquisition. It seems to me that huge scopes on bull pus are counter intuitive to the design. I would really like to find a Quality scope that is designed for a bull pup. Mostly forested area where I hunt so 10-50 yd would work. Maybe out to 100 yd but that would be infrequent with a PCP. I'm not after starlings and such. Tx in advance for any input.

look up the scope on edgun west Its a 6x fixed with illuminated retical. Very small and light weight.

High quality, light weight (15 oz ) highly recommended.

I like the EDgun/Dedal Stalker. This is the fixed 6X mentioned above. The single drawback on this scope is that the turrets are tiny and not meant for dialing. It is Mil/Mil and the reticle is pure awesome. The larger knob on top is parallax adjust. The IR is very crisp, red and has 6 or 7 brightness levels. FOV is nice. Eye relief is long if you want to add a camera. Light gathering is pretty awesome and the glass is very clear. I think it is a near perfect bullpup optic. Worth looking at for sure. Some will say 6X is not enough. I feel 6X is perfect for a hunting air rifle.

This one is compact and was recommended by a number of members here. I just put one on my Veteran shorty and I really like the combo.

Another good one is the Leupold Custom 3-9 EFR. I would love to have one.

Tx guys. Also read today that MTC has scope coming out called the SWAT/PRISMATIC. I'll check them out. Pretty sure I'll make a move. Curious about the MTC scope. Does that mount come with the Dedal Stalker? Guess I better check out Edgun West.

Anyone know what diameter the side parallax focus wheel is on this discovery scope (discovery 3 , 3-12x44 compact FFP Scope)?

The Stalker has a unitized mount.

That's exactly the one I was going to suggest. 10" long and just over 18 oz, although it lacks illumination.

Or, you could consider the Discovery VT-1 4x32mm AOE. It is fixed-power with a smaller objective, but it has illumination, and comes in just over 15 oz, and just under 9.5" OAL.

I have the Discovery VT-3 3-12x44 on my Wildcat Compact. Bought it from airgunarcheryfun.ca for the same reasons you mention in your original post; lightweight, compact, great reticle. Doesn’t swamp the gun like most other scopes and is easy on the check book.
