Scope Suggestion for Daystate Redwolf

[5thumbs]

I'm getting close to purchasing a .177 Daystate Redwolf. Probably wont get the high power version. Shoot at 15-25 yards, rested and mainly at paper targets. Really like the Aztec 3-18 (reticle and build) on my Regal, so was thinking of the Aztec 5.5-25 for the Redwolf. I'm pretty clueless about scope options so would appreciate any thoughts. Also, struggling with the red laminate vs the walnut. I know I will be happy either way, but I'm trying to put together the LAST airgun package for myself and want to make sure it is great!



Thanks

I have the Aztec 3-18 on my Zbroia .177 and love it. Tried out a 5-25, second focal plane and it was too cloudy for me, sent it back. Not sure how the clarity of the 5-25 ffp model is though.



Recently got a Crimson Trace 5-25, ffp and it is AWESOME. Edge to edge clarity at full magnification, 10 yards to infinity parallax, some the most crisp and audible clicks.



The question of the best scope really cones down to budget though.

Scope selection is really a personal preference based on many variables. In a SFP scope, I like the Sightron S-TAC 4-20. The center dot gives plenty of precision on small targets, and on 20X, the 2 MOA hash marks give me all the definition I need for holdover. And it focuses down to 10 yards. I have one on my Red Wolf and RAW. 

If you prefer FFP, I like the Athlon Midas TAC 6-24, with MOA reticle (also available with mil reticle). But, I think the FFP platform is better suited to hunting than target use. Again, a personal preference, lot of good scopes out there.

Walnut.

MTC Mamba or Athlon BTR's

Have a look at the meopta meopro optika 6 scopes. 

I currently have the 3-18x56 ffp on my red wolf and it's incredible. Soundly thrashes my Sightron STAC in all departments. Very well priced too. May have a bit of a wait to get one though.

Walnut, no seriously, get whatever one appeals to you, I just prefer walnut. But, I really like my SWFA 3-15x14 FFP tactical scope, 10 yards to infinity, an excellent reticle.

In that budget area I'd take a look at the Athlon Argos BTR Gen2's, for target use from 15Y on out the 10-40 SFP would be my choice. FFP there is a 8-34 and a 6-24. 

The 10-40 might not be available yet, but you can call and ask.

Thanks for the recommendations and opinions. I will start doing my research on these scopes. Shoz, I also have a SWFA FFP 3-15 and like that scope alot.

I also like the traditional look of walnut, but that red does look nice (or at least different). Thanks everyone!

Fitted a 25 cal Safari with a Hawke Frontier FFP 4-20 x50 and could not be happier! Great glass, solid workmanship and lighter than most competitors.

Check it out!

Good shooting
