FFP + Holdover reticle + excellent Glass

[RicL]

Hi,

I’m in search of a certain scope. I know the attributes, but not the scope. It is FFP, has a very useable reticle for airgun holdover and has “excellent” glass.

Since excellent is subjective, I’ll define it through my own experience. Better glass than Sightrons STAC line, at or above their siii line.

16x or 24x magnification, ~10-15 parallax

Might “Compromise” on glass and just go with their Stac line, but want to make sure I weigh all my options. Any help welcome

Athlon Ares ETR 3-18x50 FFP have great glass and turrets plus a fantastic warranty. Comes in MIL or MOA. Doug @:CamerLandNY is the guy to call.....

Best value for good glass... of the many scopes I've owned is Arken....safely can say the epl4 6-24×50 performs in price well above its costs. Majority of scope between 500 to 1k are made in China, either spend 1200 to 2500 and get good glass or save the money and get an arken

¡Hello from Peru, Ricardo!

I'll attach two Scope Specs Tables for you below.

● One has scopes in the 4-16x | 3-18x 4--20x magnification range.
● The other in the 6-24x | 4-24x | 5-25x | 5-30x | 4-20x range.

● As you requested, the minimum parallax is 10y/15y.

● It is sorted by FFP and SFP — so you can go straight to the FFP section.


● About the glass I cannot tell you that much. But you can see from the prices that there are some significant differences.
And comments on the forums usually affirm the quality of certain brands — especially if you look at the middle and upper range series of those brands:
Sightron, Nightforce, Element, Riton, Vortex, Delta, Hawke, Athlon.
Even Vector with their Continental (and Paragon? and Taurus?) line is quite nice.


➠ You said you want to weigh all the options.
That's precisely the reason these tables exist — like you I wanted to consider all the options before spending my limited funds. So, I started comparing scopes, and finally ended up with these tables.


Happy scope shopping!

Matthias
