snakeman Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 This is a cracking little scope and ideal for your requirements if you can get hold of one (but no centre-dot reticule tho)...Made in Japan by 'Light Optical Works' and has exceptional clarity ..perfect size/weight etc, for rimmy or air https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1477410634 ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 It doesn't have adjustable parallax and I doubt it's set closer than 100yds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapua Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 this is pretty light, and would do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-NZ Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Well, like my PCP, you set the scope for whatever the current average distance is, in the case of last night with a plague of swallows on our roof, about 25yds. Got 19 of them in about 20mins, tally for three days about 45 and still the little sh!ts come.. Roof is getting covered in crap and we drink the water (life sentence block). Even with the scope backed off to 10X, the parallax/dreadful focus would be intolerable on a non-adjustable scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
