[QUOTE="JungleShooter, post: 2487287, member: 110729"] [B]Am I hunting for a unicorn?[/B] Maybe. And yet I have hope that maybe you have seen it galloping in the woods somewhere.... ❓ [B]What variable scopes are: [/B] ▪ under $1000, ▪ under 12" (13"?), ▪ under 16y parallax, and ▪ over 13x magnification? Just so you don't waste your time — [B]all 4 requirements are non-negotiables.[/B] 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). [B]Here are some scopes that lack 1 of the 4 boxes: [/B] • 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. 😊 Matthias [/QUOTE]
