Best glass fixed 10x scope.

I’m looking for a 10x fixed power that will adjust down to 10-15 yards with the best glass.

These are on the list but I hope you guys have other suggestions.

Hawke


Athlon


SWFA


I have a Vector Veyron 10x, it’s alright for a plinker.
Beware as magnification vary considerably depending on quality/manufacturer for example my my 6-24 magnification scopes vary a little but my best FFP 6-24x40 scope has a larger image /magnification than my 10-40×50 scope has, they were different brands
 
This revived thread is interesting, as I said berore, i have several fixed power scopes. Here's my opinion.
*Hawke Airmax 30mm 10x...great glass and reticle, controls are mil/mil. The oly gripe is it's on the heavy side.

*Optisan 10xi, very nice glass and reticle, equal tto the Airmax, mil/mil, and just as the Airmax, it's a bit heavy.

*SWFA (i have two 10x and one 12x). Good glass, not as clear as Airmax or Optisan, some fisheye, but highly useable. More variation from scope to scope than most brands, (a good one can be great). Great controls. Good weight, not too heavy. Good reticle but not lighted.

*vector Veyron 10x great scope, very clear, but some variation from scope to scope. I have the 10x and a 3-12x that are fantastic and compact and fairly light. Great controls and amazing tracking much like SWFA? (fluke ?). I love the two i have, but have used others that didn't measure up: who knows?

*Athlon Talos 10x , most Athlons are great scopes and the Talos should be great, but the heaviest of the 10x breed.

If you don't mind the extra weight, then I'd go Airmax or Optisan. If a compact is in your plan, then the Veyron is worth sorting thru.
