Seekins Element scope. Predator 4, GPO, VX5 HD #19103301 01/13/24 Joined: Jan 2024 Posts: 7 O Orangehd_1 OP New Member OP Orangehd_1 New Member O Joined: Jan 2024 Posts: 7 Searching for a scope for my Seekins element in 6.5cm. Looking for a good simple low light hunting scope. Most shots under 250 yards and some as close as 25 yards. I would prefer to keep the objective 44 or smaller. Would like to keep in that 1k or less range but may be willing to up that a touch if needed. I have a Zeiss v4 which I like on another riffle but wanting to try something different. Thanks for the help!

Those are both more scope than needed for 250 yards, but the Athlon reticle and illumination would work well in low light and up close. For the uses you describe, I might be looking at either a fixed 4x or 6x power, or illuminated LPVO (1-4x, 1-6x) of some flavor.

Hint. Same goes other platforms of the ilk. Hint. It's feature set,is simply fhuqking awesome and for Utility Killing I WANT FFP for Movers,weather and the like. You are going to be looking through the fhuqking thing anyways,so might as well get something outta it and SFP can't even begin to hang. Hint.................

Helos G2 2-12 is 25.4oz and the Ares ETR UHD 3-18 is 31.4oz. You could lose that off one of your chins by skipping one meal. And yeah, that 6oz is worth if for WAAAAAAY better glass and added magnification to use on a .22lr. It's not a "walking around shooting squirrels" rifle. The glass on my Helos' suck compared to the Ares ETR.

That's an excellent scope and a great place to buy from. You’re right on both accounts there Bobby. I kicked tires on this one for quite awhile worried about the reticle but I really like this one. It looked kinda busy for my taste in the pics but my eye is drawn to the crosshair and nothing else. Illumination seems spot on. The optics are great just crystal clear glass with a true natural view. My first impression seems to go along with most others, This is a TON of scope for the money.
