Scope for Taipan veteran compact

[Blejda]

Looking for scope sugestions. It must be very compact and light. At least 10x mag and sf 15yards or under. Reticle with multi aimpoints I like ones with dot in the center if it is possible.And reasonable price  

I have Taipan Veteran short.25 on the way and don't wan't to put something too heavy or long on it.

If you don't mind front focus, the Clearidge 3-9 is a good scope. I think they are still made in Japan and have good glass and a great warranty. Also the Burris Timberline 4-14 is a nice light scope but has a little longer eye relief. Good luck.

MTC Viper Connect 3-12. The short eye relief is perfect for small pups like the Veteran.

Thanks for sugestions. 

I did a little research and Clearidge and Burris seems very nice but not very airgun friendly reticles.

Will look a little more at Mtc but I don't know how Will I like short eye relief.

Regards

Blejda,

I just completed your quest for a short and light scope for a short and light gun...!

Today I mounted a Discovery VT-3 3-12x44 FFP scope to a PP700. It's so short that the pistol does not look weird with a rifle scope -- that says something of its small size....!

Actually, I made a whole list of scopes that are either SHORT or LIGHT, or BOTH (or that at the very least have a magnificatio of 3-9x or 3-12x). This list compares the specs of the scopes in a table.


Scope Specs Table for about 40 SHORT and/or LIGHT scopes (Attached!!)



Requirements to Make It Onto the List

• 10y Parallax Minimum
• Side Parallax (no front parallax, or fixed parallax)
• Exposed Turrets (no capped turrets)
• Holdover Reticle (no BDC or simple crosshairs)
• Under $500 (most are $200–300)



Specs Included
• Price
• FFP or SFP
• Warranty type
• Springer-rated or not
• Reticle (MIL or MOA)
• Turrets (MIL or MOA; clicks per turn)
• Maximum elevation adjustment range
• IR or not
• Weight and length
• Tube size: 30mm or 1"
• Field of view (FoV)
• Exit pupil



Hope this list helps you make up your mind!

Happy shopping/shooting!

Thanks

I don't have first hand experience with this particular scope but it looks good. I am thinking of putt this on my Cricket Compact:

However, this one is on the way in 2020 and I like the looks of it:

i know this is on the low end on the tier list but the 3-9 bugbuster is an amazing little scope light and has plenty of aiming points it will also parallax down to 3 yards and has exposed lockable turrets

My main preferable attributes are;

Decent build quality - go too cheap and the scope will probably be disappointing in more than a few ways. There is some really crappy image quality in the cheapest scopes and the turrets usually do not track!

Stay with either mil reticle going with mil turrets, or moa reticle and moa turrets. Not a good idea to mix moa with mil.

FFP scopes as much as possible, unless the scope will be on low power most of the time.

Look at that Athlon Talos SFP 3-12 mildot or FFP Talos BTR 4-14, even though they don't have a center dot. 

The FFP 4-16x50 Athlon Midas TAC, even though it's more expensive, competes very well with $1500 scopes, and is the best value out there!

That discovery seems nice scope but I don't know where to buy it in Europe. I think you made a good decision with that one.

I already have Hawke Airmax compact and I like it but it already has it's job sitting on my Vulcan.

Bugbuster is nice to but it has only mil dot not half mil dot or similar reticle. And I would like little more magnification. 10x at least but 12x would be better. 

Thanks everyone for your help. Marko

You have right but those are not as light and compact as I would like.

Blejda -- The Tac Vector Veyron 3-12x44 FFP is the same scope as the Discovery with a different reticle and I'm pretty sure I've seen it on a European airgun YouTube channel.

The BugBuster comes in a 3-12. I have one but looks like I'll need offset mounts and I haven't bothered ordering them yet. I don't recall what reticle mine has. I bought it on a whim to because it was on sale and I needed to get an order up to a certain amount for free shipping.

I like that tac vector.I found it on huma website. I have decided for now I will mount my Hawke Airmax compact scope when I receive rifle and later maybe go for that one. So far it is my first choice.

Thanks for reply
