Ade from Optics Warehouse shares his Top-Picks of the current Compact Scopes available from Optics Warehouse.
...
Often overlooked, there is a wide range of fantastic Compact Scope options available in today's market, where size is an important factor in choosing an Optic to suit the outfit, especially common in Air Rifles and Rimfires, where the overall length of the Scope can create problems.
Below, I've provided a list of some of the top-picks to consider, which are available from Optics Warehouse.
DISCOVERY OPTICS
New on the scene is a great little Scope from Discovery Optics, the VT-3 Compact 3-12x44 SF FFP Non-Illuminated MIL 0.1 MRAD.
Unusual, as it offers big Scope features in a very compact body; First Focal Plane (FFP), for those who prefer to dial inputs of range values, and Parallaxing down to 10 yards, but all within a Scope that's only 25.2cm long!
UTG
The long-established UTG Bugbuster is always a good seller, and in terms of size (or lack off it) takes some beating!
Available in a range of options, this makes a very versatile scope.
Parallax values down to 3yards and only 199mm long!
1. UTG BugBuster 3-9X32 AO Illuminated Mil-Dot Rifle Scope w/ QD Weaver Rings
2. UTG BugBuster 3-9X32 Side Focus Non-Illuminated Mil-Dot Rifle Scope w/ 9-11mm Dovetail Rings
3. UTG BugBuster 3-12X32 Side Focus Non-Illuminated Mil-Dot Rifle Scope w/ QD Weaver Rings
HAWKE
Hawke has been producing a compact option in their Airmax range for some time, and with good reason.
The Airmax 30 SF Compact is available in 3 magnification options, home to a 30mm Tube, Illuminated Reticle, and starting at just 277mm in length.
1. Airmax 30 SF Compact 3-12x40
2. Airmax 30 SF Compact 4-16x44
3. Airmax 30 SF Compact 6-24x50
SIGHTRON
Sightron produces what has been a very successful range of Compact Scopes called the S-TAC's series.
Incredibly popular in the UK Hunting/Foxing market, whilst not strictly sold as a 'Compact' type, it is only 12.9 inches long and available in several magnification options, includes Side Focus, Parallax down to 10yards, and makes a great partner with the likes of Pard's Night Vision Add-On's.
