10yd parallax scopes
- Thread starter ROLEXrifleman

What is your price range? If it's high enough for consideration then look at the Zeiss S3 6-36x56.
Thanks for the info. Seeing as it's going on a .22 that's wont get that much use past 100 yards I'd like to be a little south of that.
Posted a thread about Trijicon if you have any info on that.
No more than $1500
I'd for sure like to be under $2k
Hell, the Trijicon is under $1k
I know there's many factors that going into pricing. But I want my cake and eat it too on this one! lol
The SE 3-18x is a nice scope for the money also. If 18x if enough then it's another choice. If not the SE 5-25 is an option if the 15 yard parallax is fine. Had a SE 5-25 on my Vudoo for a while and was happy with it.
My question is, why would anybody need top magnification at 10 yards? Are rimfire benchrest matches not shot at 50 yards? The only time I've ever encountered a target closer than that in PRS or NRL22 - style competition was ~3/16" at 40 yards, and I used ~12x on that one out of 27x I had available....
I would be looking at Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18x42 and Element Titan 3-18x50. Both focus at 10yards and it is a pretty good mag range for a rimfire inside of 100 yards.
Same for Athlon Ares ETR 3-18x50.
If you are looking for something decent but with lots of magnification, Athlon Ares ETR 15-60x56 focuses down to 10yards. It is SFP though.
Sightron makes a couple of Field Target oriented 10-50x scopes that focus from 10 to 300 yards. I think they are just over your $1500 limit though.

I was thinking FFP scopes but yes the Athlon Ares ETR 15-60 and the Heras 15-60 focus close/ sub 10Y. I have the ETR 15-60 on my Field Target rifle. The image quality is "crazy nice" for this price range. Some friends of mine, both national champions in air rifle, one in benchrest and one in FT, report that the image quality is the same in the Heras as the ETR, this after comparing among their friends also owning both scopes. The Heras is a steal but I like the daylight bright center dot illume of the ETR, partly because the reticle is so thin. BTW it's a MOA reticle and hashes are 1/2 MOA at 40x, turrets in 1/8th MOA.
You also get a nice large side wheel you can attach if desired, caps, etc.
During the first shipment these scopes became so sought after that when the word got out they sold out quickly and this latest shipment is about there too I think.
Also the turret feel in distinctness, lack of lash, and turret lines lining up with the indicator on the housing, rivals MUCH more expensive scopes. However that is Athlon's great attribute is their turrets. Even the Argos line have nice turrets.
Lastly the image quality in my ETR is very close to my March Genesis which is the #1 that I have as far as scope IQ goes and also my S&B 5-25, which is why I say "crazy good"!

For the sake of the discussion, how does this scope factor in?
Not sure why I'm fixated on it. Maybe it's the price, sub $1k delivered.

What makes SFP a deal breaker for you?
For me, in this application, I know I'll never be beyond a MAXXX of 150 yards so range estimation is out. Also a FFP reticle would be mush at the low end so for me. I'm thinking SFP is better in this application. just thinking out loud.
80% punching paper for groups, 20% punching squirrels.
The rig is a custom built on a Hall action.
For 80% punching paper, SFP is fine. However…
I’ve learned that any SFP scope must be a relatively simple duplex style reticle for me. Anything with subtensions throws me off in the rare application of non-paper punching. I see mildots or whatever and I think “cool, holdovers!” but I’m so used to FFP that I don’t stop to think about what power I’m on, and that inevitably leads to a miss for me lol. I realize I could train that out, but why bother? If it’s SFP, I zero for MPBR and just assume my impact will be within a certain distance of the crosshair and adjust my hold accordingly, with no dots/hashes to throw my simpleton caveman brain off.
Anything else gets FFP and I’m happy.

Anything else gets FFP and I’m happy.I guess since your one criteria was 10 yd parallax i figured you would be shooting multiple distances, which to me makes sfp a pain
10m parallax makes zero sense unless you shoot 10m matches. Even a 50y/m parallax is completely serviceable for .22 distances.
Might as well put a red dot on there if shooting short distances and considering sfp.

I am also looking for a hunting scope for similar use cases. Is Trijicon TR26 (https://www.eurooptic.com/trijicon-...e-w-bac-red-triangle-post-reticle-200105.aspx) a good choice? There are very few reviews about this product online. Need some input on the image clarity and eyebox. Thank you.
