Ideal optic for the Benji P-mod?

[steve-kville]

I decided to keep this one a pistol. At the moment, I have a Burris micro-dot on a BKL pic mount. Accurate, just looks janky. I would like a bit of magnification, though.

Also, any ideas on adding a single-point sling attachment, like near the breech? My other P-mod is rockin' an AR stock and works really well for that build. This one I intend to keep as a pistol.

id love to have an actual pistol scope .. the ones with arms-length eye relief .. leupold and a couple of other decent names make them, but theyre pricey, especially with any mag ...

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what this build will look like 'til I'm done. On a whim I ordered the UTG 2-7x scope. Figured if It didn't work on this one, It'll get used somewhere else. I also have a Vortex red dot plus the afore mentioned micro-dot that is mounted now.

This may very well become a sniper-pistol set up. We shall see.

Are you running the Prod w/o the buttstock??

These are all pretty compact scopes and much better than anything from UTG;

The Hawke Vantage 2x7x32 is probly the best $100-150 scope you will find out there and has that wonderful reticle as well.

The Vector Optics Veyron and Discovery VT-3 scopes are both compact and lighter weight scopes in 3x12x44 with 30mm tubes. They are both decent for the money around $200 and both Mil/Mil scopes so none of that funky Hawke Mil/MOA stuff going on. So there is some give and take between the two and I like them both for what they are.

If you are going for an FFP the Veyron has a pretty thin reticle and it can get lost in a dark background at lower magnification. But it does focus down to 7 yards at full 12 power so that is not often a problem although your FOV will suffer. It weighs in at 17.6oz and has a nice Mil Hash reticle. It is available in a 2nd focal plane scope as well.

The Discovery will just barely focus to 10 yards if you turn the power down to 6 but it has a thicker reticle that is easier to pick up at lower magnification so it is not a problem either. It weighs in at 18.3oz and has a nice Mil Quad reticle. These are also available in 1st or 2nd focal plane.

Yes, on this one I am going without a stock. My other P-rod has an AR stock, that of which has become my go-to critter getter.
