I shot a Hawke 4x on my Mrod for the last 3 or 4 years. I loved the five yard focus, light weight, and small profile. I did not like the very thick reticle. Also, although the reticle was described as a mil-dot, it really wasn't since it was scaled for a 10x scope so the graduations were off and nearly unusable. I bought a SWFA SS 10x mil dot and while I am fairly happy with it, it seems a little big. Was thinking about going back to a 1" diameter scope, maybe a variable, that could focus at least down to ten yards with a working mil dot somewhere in the range of usable. Suggestions?
4x vs 10x vs ?

What kind of budget do you have for the scope? There are hundreds of good scopes out there and knowing your budget will help narrow the choices down.

Athlon's Talos 3-12x40. SFP and Mil is correct at 10x, it has a mildot reticle as well as .1 mil click capped but finger adjustable turrets with a zero set. Decent glass as well.
Been super happy with the Talos 4-16x40 on my coyote rifle. I had put this cheap scope on my rifle as a temporary option and liked it so much I left it there.

I just got from utg the big buster 3×9×32 @ the 3×12×44 ..I didnt really expect much from these scopes but have been surprisingly happy ..the light weight is what I was after ..I have a couple SWFA3×14×42 @ a couple Hawke scopes I paid $600 a piece for. but they were to heavy for what I was looking to accomplish.. a light weight bullpup rig... The new 22.cal vulcan I got is super light and I want it to stay that way .. I also have a new 22 cal taipan veteran. that's kinda heavy so it needs a light weight scope. .I also thought of trying the veyron scope that Brian at Edgun west sells.. I know these scopes are no way near the cream of the crop glass wise...they do serve a purpose though. good luck HYNZIE 4S

I don't normally recommend UTG but have purchased the UMOA 4-16x44 and 2-16x44 mini swat and they are great with perfect reticle within your $200 budget glass that are decent enough even I can tolerate. I have a combination of 3 of them and dont normally push UTG but the UMOA reticle rocks! Also lighter weight close to half pound lighter than the Alpha6. (A6 hands down got better glass though)
Cheapest here and they normally sell for $215-$220. Only the center cross is illuminated with up to 36 COOL shades of colors.

Here are possible Extreem Tactical discount codes let everyone know if any of these worked and what was the military discount.
Is it 5% off sign up discount PLUS additional percent off using the codes? PLUS FREE SHIPPING?
I paid more for mine elsewhere.

Odoyle- How do these compare to the Discovery VT-3 scopes? I was just getting ready to buy another Discovery until I saw this.

I really like the UMOA reticle on the UTG glass is about the same as the VT3. Edge goes to VT3 in brightness. Trade off is worth it IMHO plus LIFETIME WARRANTY UTG vs 3 years Discovery.
