Vote for my Notos Scope Choice!

This one has me interested. I contacted seller and they claim it focuses down to 10 yards

2-12X44 it should be pretty bright for you if you get that one since it is a big objective lens and not tons of zoom. Interesting way to light up a reticle- like a "circle dot" red dot.

It’s 3x magnification it’s ok … Very close eye relief. It works for 20 yard and under nicely …It’s quick to point and obviously as light as open sights.
I understand the need for bigger scope and the notos can definitely slay at 40 -50
I’ll likely put on the other bug I have ….

You can’t go wrong whatever you do … she’s a shooter

Keep ‘em light. !

The prism scope is something I'd like to see in real life some day. Would have to see how well it works with my glasses.

Yeah I like the dedicated short range application of the Notos but the thing is so accurate it made me scope it with some good zoom. While I wait for my scope to arrive I put that reflex sight on and was hitting 7/7 on a small helium balloon tank out at ~93 yards free hand. The power to weight ratio of the Notos is otherworldly for the price.

Okay guys well I didn't get a clear winner in the polls, top two tied at 40% and there were other scopes recommended outside of the poll, too!

So I decided to make the risky choice and get the West Hunter 4-16 x 50 since it will let in more light than the UTG and others and is FFP which I've never had before. It may be a honker on there but Amazon has really easy returns so if something comes up in the first 30 days I'll hit that return button and go from there.

Thank you all so much for the suggestions to get some magnification on my Notos! I'll let you know what I think of this scope after it gets here and I have time to give a good review.

Man these threads make me miss Yo. He had all the scope deals, I think?

Indeed he did have the deals mapped out…I still have 2 of his suggestions here, and 1 even works still! sadly, the Alpha 6 has met its demise, I wonder if they will honor the lifetime warranty?

You’ll like the westview my buddy has a couple and it’s a good scope.( even if a little weighty ) Great offhand shooting btw.
The Notos is really something else ….
Prisms scopes are better for people with bad vision … where a reflex dot is a blur but prisms are clear

Do you know if your buddy uses the turrets or just holdover?

Yeah I noticed with the reflex sight I have on there now that it's fuzzy inside but outside in the sun it crisps up. That's why it'd be interesting to see a prism scope sometime. Probably better for me. But cost/magnification is a factor on those.

Holdover

Agreed magnification and cost on the prism isn’t optimal.
I also wanted something different and super light. I like it. I encourage you to look at one …. When you want quick and light and clear
I’ll pm a pic through the prism for you.

That's okay haha I'm not mad

I went with an immersive prism, 5x. Perfect for what I use my notos for.

I saw you post that somewhere else and then I looked it up cause I was excited about a 5x that could adjust parallax but... they cost more than the Notos by like 6 tins of CPHP lol... I'm sure they're quality! I just couldn't bring myself to pay that for the budget gun the Notos is.

I went with a super lightweight https://www.amazon.com/CVLIFE-2-5-10x40e-Green-Illuminated-Scope/dp/B00PRVLMK4/ and have eviscerated many tree rats with it. Works great and I'm happy with the magnification to weight ratio.
