What Scopes are under $1000, under 12", under 16y parallax, and over 13x magnification?

Hawke Frontier 30 H7 scopes. They have a 3-15 x 50 FFP that's 13.2". That's if a FFP works for you. This is Hawke's top of line scope.
-List is $1049 but can purchased below list.
-13.2"
-10 yd parallax.
-15x max power.
*30 mm
*Zero stop.
*Locking turrets, lift the turret top to adjust.
*LED Mil Reticle.
*Eye focus.
*Includes scope caps, sun shade. throw lever.
I'm looking at 4-20 x 50 vs the NX8 2.5 x 20. Advantage of the NX8 is it's available in SF vs FFP and MOA vs Mil. I would be putting this on an high end airgun.
Worth a look.
CDE,
 
Look at Athlon Talos Scopes. IMHI, they are great for Rimfire rifles. They have 3x12 & 4x16, and 6x24

Length is at or a little over 12"
Parallax is 10-15 yds based on model.

They run $200 - $300.00

Some may scuff at the brand, model. But at worst-case try one, don't like put on a cheaper 22lr or send to me.

Until you shoot @ 15-25 yds for extreme accuracy with Rimfire, you will not understand the need for very low parallax adj.

I own 4-5 of these on various Rimfire rifles.
Lastly, I find there parallax yardage to be the most accurate of most of my Scopes.

Good luck, been where you are, you know what I found.

 
Am I hunting for a unicorn? Maybe. And yet I have hope that maybe you have seen it galloping in the woods somewhere....

❓ What variable scopes are:
▪ under $1000,
▪ under 12" (13"?),
▪ under 16y parallax, and
▪ over 13x magnification?


Just so you don't waste your time — all 4 requirements are non-negotiables.
Because I have found scopes that fulfill 3 of the 4 just fine — but they aren't what I need for my shooting scenarios.


Like the USO TS-12X 3-12x44, or the Athlon Helos BTR Gen. 2 2-12x42:
They check all 3 boxes, except they just go up to 12x — and I'll need a little more than than (14x, 16x, 20x).


Here are some scopes that lack 1 of the 4 boxes:
• The NX8 2.5-20x50 is all of it's 12" wonderful, but twice my budget.

• Riton 7 Conquer 3-18x50 is 1.6" too long, and $700 over budget.

• Trijicon Tenmile 4-24x50 is 2.5" too long, not going to work.

• Leopolds don't have the minimum 15y parallax I need.

• Burris Xtreme Tactical 4-20x50 has 50y parallax (and is 1.9" too long).

• Crimson Trace 3 Series 4-20x50 is 4" too long.

• The S&B PMII 3-20x50 Ultra Short is a work of art, but the sticker price would end me up in a divorce court....


Thanks for any hints you can give me to find my unicorn. 😊

Look at Meopta Optika5, they make a 4-20x44 and a 3-15x44 that are about 13 1/2 inches long. https://www.meoptasportsoptics.com/us/produkt/optika5-3-15x44-16175/

Matthias, are you still gathering information on scopes? Getting ready to publish the Wikipedia of Rifle Scopes ("Scopepedia")?
