Looking for compact scope for Brocock Contour xl s6

srserl · Sep 15, 2016

I just ordered the Contour and am looking for a nice light, compact scope with around 9-12x max. I will probably put my UTG 3-9 x 32 bugbuster on until I find something else. I would like to find something a little nicer, but have an absolute budget of $500 and a preferred budget of $300. I really like the looks of the Leupold vx2 ultralight 3-9x33, but it costs so much to change the reticle to mil dot or even better, their T-MOA Plus.
I will mostly be hunting small game and birds at 20-50yd, but also like to plink at 0-100yds (and more).
Any other recommendations for a light (definitely <15oz) and compact (around 12ish inches or less) in my price range?
Thanks

I put a Hawke Air Max 30 6-24X50 on my Compatto although it is not particularly light or compact I really like the performance.

Theres nothing light about a hawke Air Max 30. Brick of a scope. My old Hawke Ev 3-9x40 is okish but could be lighter. Good glass and low weight, low parallax and mill dot. Gimme.

Hate to say it but the Leupold custom shop might be your best bet.They always say 4 weeks but usually it faster . If it's a must have on the reference points on the reticle then I'd say look into the Athlon scopes ...They have several series and a couple will meet your requirements. The Talos do its price in the 3_12 is one I enjoyed . They have nice reticles . Look em up on optics planet . . I am NOT a fan of optics planet but they carry the full line

Thanks Joe, that Talos looks like a reasonable bargain pick; I will keep it in mind. It's not too heavy (unless compared to the Leupold ultralight) and only about $150 with a mil dot reticle, and only 12" long.

I second the Athlon Talos. I have a 3-12 talos on my Falcon which is very similar to your Brocock. A lot of scope for the price along with a lifetime guarantee!!!!!!

The Clearidge Ultra RM is my go-to lightweight scope. It's just 12oz and fairly good at air rifle distances (for the price).

The ultralight leupold is a little better but the model with AO was more than I wanted to spend at the time. I bought a second Clearidge so I don't regret the decision.

I mainly use mine at 50 yards but it works well when I use it at 100 yards too.

Thanks zebra,
I'll look into the Clearidge scope. After receiving my rifle today, I think weight will be very important as an 18 oz. scope will increase the weight by 25%. The 12oz Clearidge wil increase the weight by 17%. I put my UTG 3-9X32 Bugbuster on it tonight (13.5oz I think), and it is not too bad for weight, but lighter would be better.
I'll shoot with the UTG for awhile and see how much I like the rifle, then decide how much I am willing to spend.

The BugBuster is the perfect size for the Contour. That and the close focus capability is the reason why I use it on my Contour SS. Oh... its also really inexpensive.
