[QUOTE="JungleShooter, post: 2817712, member: 110729"] [B]Mathews, [/B] you're not mentioning what magnification range you're looking for. So, I'll just attach two Scope Specs Tables with suitable scopes: [B]All scopes in the Tables have: [/B] ▪ 10y parallax ▪ exposed turrets ▪ holdoff reticles ▪ most are between $200 and $400, some a bit higher [B]The Specs Tables help you compare scopes: [/B] ▪ Price ▪ Weight and length ▪ Field of view at min. and max. magnification (important for your close up running squirrels) ▪ Sorted in FFP and SFP ▪ IR or not ▪ Type of warranty [B]🟡 Here are some I'd seriously look into, starting with the ones most desirable to me: [/B] ● Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 2.5-15x50 FFP The Ares line is almost at the top of the Athlon lineup, a very good scope, normally far beyond your stated price range. I just came across an offer for a used one, at a very good price. I'm not 100% sure if this particular scope is 100% in working order at this price — but the Athlon warranty is phenomenal. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.airgunnation.com/posts/1490356/[/URL] ● Athlon Helos BTR Gen. 2 2-12x44 FFP MIL (not the MOA, because that's BDC) $450 With circle of death Has all the bells and whistles of a modern scope, and good glass. This gets praised again and again. ● Arken EPL 4-16x44 FFP MIL or MOA $400 new Turrets are phenomenal for dialers in this price range. There was just one on sale right here, for $350, if it had been in MIL I would have bought it! [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/arken-epl-4-16-moa.330908/#post-2817126[/URL] The reviews I've been reading are very good: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/arken-epl4.1287331/[/URL] ● Discovery ED 3-15x50 FFP MIL ● Discovery ED 4-16x50 FFP MIL c. $360—$390 This is from their top line. I've been dialing a 3-12x from their lower VT-3 line for 3 years several times a week now, but even this line has clear glass and hasn't failed me. ● Swampfox Kentucky Long 2-12x44 FFP MIL $420 ● Athlon Talos BTR 4-14x44 FFP MIL $300 Happy scope shopping! 😊 Matthias ❌ Attachements: ●Scope Specs Table for SHORT and 3-12x (3-9x) magnification ●Scope Specs Table for 4-16x | 3-18x | 4-20x magnification [/QUOTE]
