This Element Nexus is crystal clear all the way up to maximum magnification and still has a pretty forgiving eye box.
Which scopes are easiest on your eyes?

I don’t like ffp scopes, I can either get the reticle or the image in focus but never both together, I get eye strain if I use them for too long.
Nice gun by the way

I've got a few I like a lot. One is a Japanese Tasco 2-7x32, another a Nikon 3-9x44, Burris 1.25-4x20 all sfp. Have a Centerpoint 4-12x44 sfp side focus, a primary arms 4-14x44 ffp. All of these are very clear and focus very well. I've had a number of others and still do have some I didn't mention that don't really get used. A good runner up is a centerpoint 2x20 as well.

For me, my Leupold 6-18X CDS lets me use it a long time before I get eye fatigue. SFP is my preference, although I do own a couple FFP Arkens. I wish Arken would introduce a SPF scope.

I like my March scopes - specifically the 1-10X dual reticle shorty but I just picked up one of the Element Optics 10x40 immersive series and have been really impressed with that for the price - seems like a great fit for any backyard to 50 yard air rifle

Peeked thru an Element Theos.....very nice relaxing and forgiving eye box which is quite a bit different than my Athlon Ares BTR which has a much smaller eye box.....

Sightron SII fixed power scopes. The wonderful part of fixed is you don’t need complex glass grinds to make them work. You get a couple good pieces of glass and a great image. And they are much lighter, and that’s always a good thing.

I really like the matchy matchy aesthetic. Ala silver gun, silver scope. Very "easy on the eyes."

The question is a really good one and I hope alot of members reply. Some scopes just have it, and some just don't. The best scope image I have seen was a NF. People around here say they're not that great, but I was impressed. I never want to look through a $9K Hensoldt and see what I'm missing, comparison is the thief of joy.

Finally found a scope I really like - Sightron SIII PLR 10-50 x 60 SFP. Happens to be on sale right now!

I’d have to agree.
I’ve got two Sightron SIII 45X and a Sightron SIII 36X
There is something about the image seen looking through the very cost effective SII 36X that I love.
Are my SIIIs better?… maybe - but unless I’m at 100 yards, I won’t be able to tell…

Yeah the Ares BTR is a 1.5 gen chinese scope with upgraded turrets that IMHO needs a clean sheet redesign and I found the optics no improvement to the original. That was a couple years ago and I doubt the prescription has changed since then but...
The Theos is a LOW designed 6-36 3rd gen scope so its a significantly improved new design.
