JDT Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Are Duplex’s seriously out of fashion or something?! I’ve been searching all top and mid-range manufacturers (just for the glass quality) for an optic with a nice good ‘ol duplex in the range of 4 - 20x magnification for general .22LR use across rabbits, bit of gallery / practical and can’t seem to find anything! Anybody got any recommendations? I even tried Hawke which I thought at the low-mid range might’ve had something but there was nothing. All I could find were the ridiculously expensive / very high magnification ones designed for benchrest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodlander Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Sightron do a simple crosshairs with centre dot. I’ve got the S3 6-24x50, ace optics for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've obviously slipped through the net for me somehow. 4 hours ago, Woodlander said: Sightron do a simple crosshairs with centre dot. I’ve got the S3 6-24x50, ace optics for the price.

Woodlander Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 You may be right in that it may be more difficult to find a new scope with a duplex ret, but I’m sure Leupold still make them. Would you consider buying a used scope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micken Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 There's a good (buyers) second hand market in quality Duplex reticle scopes. I've just acquired a nice Minox for not much money that I've put on to a .22LR. Worth looking around the various forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you consider buying a used scope? I’ll check out Leupold, thanks. Unfortunately I’m one of those people who has this pedantic personality trait where I like to own things from nee haha, nothing I can do about it I’m afraid.

terrierman Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I like the vortex viper 6.5x20x50. Once the mag. /hash marks are worked out it makes a great scope for.22 rabbit shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
