Down the list of threads someone listed trijicon sale
They have a 4-16x believe $600 but SFP not FFP made in Japan
(Note: specs seem off for weight lists 17oz think the real weight might be 25.5oz. )
Has the nice clean recitle you were looking for and that model comes in mil or moa

Roger that, I am just OK with it in my setup. I was all set on the US Optics 3-12, but the "2 in stock" when I clicked buy became "estimated to ship in 1-3 months." Those 1-3 months are prime time for the critters in my neighborhood.

Take a look at the Athlon Ares ETR 3-18x50 FFP available in Mil or MOA....fantastic glass and turrets. Best prices are usually from CameraLandNY....best scope for the money in my humble opinion. I have the Ares BTR 2.5-15x50 FFP MOA and it's outstanding but the ETR is even better. Another one is the Meopta Optika6 3-18x50 FFP, very similar to ETR.

I am a what if its better kind of guy. My titan for instance had very similar specs to a lower budget scope of very similar specs. Huge difference night and day. This may be a dumb move, who knows!?
Happy shooting!

I looked up this scope. Wow! Nice specs on this and the reticle is great. 20 yd focus. Liberty has 4-6 week wait, EuroOptic has them in stock.

Thanks for the reminder.
It's been a while that I went through their lineup. Back then my limit for inclusion in my Scope Specs Table was $500. So they didn't have much, and their reticle availability for each was outright confusing.
Well, as I slide further down endlessly deep rabbit hole of airgunning I have relaxed that limit somewhat.... (Every time I walk by my piggy-bank the piggy gives me the stink eye.)
Ergo, I need to revisit Meopta.

Here's one that I have my eye on, that fits into your rabbit holeThanks for the reminder.

You are probably limited where you can buy scopes, correct? Can you purchase through Krale?

Here's one that I have my eye on, that fits into your rabbit hole
The Meopta Optika5 4-20x44:
Well...., it's really really light, 21.5oz (609g) — partly bec. of its 1" tube and small-ish 44mm objective.
13.5" (34cm) is on the short side, good for bullpups.
$450 at the link above, nice price!
The 28ft FoV (4x) is just enough for my taste.
A 44mm objective lens I have decided is too small for me personally — because I need lots of light for slo-mo scopecam filming.
60moa max. elevation adjustment (due because of the 1" small-ish tube) for some is a non-issue, for the turret dialers among us this might be an issue if you want to go long range.
I prefer FFP over SFP, but that's just my preference.
What rules out this scope off any of my Specs Tables are the capped turrets. Capped turrets seem to be the manufacturer's way of saying: "Go and zero the scope with the turrets — then leave them alone for goodness sake! They are not built to withstand dialing every shot!"
If I really need protection against bumps, I'll get locking turrets — done.
Yes, I am a die hard dialer.....
Thankfully, I have "airgun mules" — nice people, family, and friends who live in the US and when they happen to travel to Peru they bring me airgun goodies down....
I'm very thankful to them.
Without them buying airgun stuff while living Peru would be like trying to find water in the desert that surrounds my city.....
