Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Fixed 6x Mil-dot AO?

Looking for a 6x scope with adjustable objective down to 10yd. Must have a mil-dot reticle. Will be mounted on a CO2 airgun so recoil is not a concern.

Nikko Stirling 6x40 Mountmaster would be perfect but I cannot locate one on this side of the pond. RWS made a 6x as well but can't find one of those either.

Any suggestions?

Have you check the UTG 6X32 https://goo.gl/LmWsT1 has mil-dot, rain- and fog-proof, large field of view

SWFA

It doesn't have an AO per se', but the parallax adjustment is where the power selector ring is on most variable scopes. I am unsure if it goes down to 10 yards though...may have to check on that.

Mine goes to 10 meters..

Thanks for the input.

The Bugbuster looks like one of the few options in the under $100 price range. I would need to check to make sure there are no mounting position issues due to the compact tube length.

The SWFA would be great but I'd like to keep the price a bit lower on this one. For over $100 I'd probably get another Primary Arms 4-14 FFP like I have mounted on a PCP. It works very well for hunting but it's dang heavy.

Look up Umarex. They sell air gun products. I bought a 6x RWS scope about 3 years ago. Not expensive. Make sure to get an air gun scope. A centerfire scope is prone to fail by design, due to opposite recoil direction.

Enlighten me please on the C02 gun not having a reverse recoil issue? Doesn't it still have a piston?

no it doesn't. just blasts compressed air. sorta like a PCP gun that uses prefilled cartridges. there is no recoil issue whatsoever w a CO2 airgun.

i used to have a beeman R1 though that was probably harder on scopes than a heavy magnum rifle.

I've given up on the 6x and ordered a couple cheap 4x32 AO mil-dot scopes. Barska (low expectations) and Nikko Stirling.

I'm finally learning to shoot my Gamo Silent Cat (Christmas present from my sons) and now just rest it on my open hand and a light grip with my trigger hand. The thing jumps a lot and the spring system is very loud but proper follow through is resulting in dead vermin to 50 yards. This thing has destroyed a few nice scopes. I now have a used 4x32 Simmons 22 Mag on it and it has held for over 1000 rounds. Go figure.

Go straight from shooting a springer to a PCP or CO2 if you want to test how much you flinch at the trigger pull.
