Was hoping someone could tell me about these scopes. I have a chance to buy a couple of them in 4.5x-14x 32obj. One has an adj. obj. and one a fixed and they both have the duplex ballistic (?) reticle.
Glass is perfect and both tubes have some ring marks.
Seller says make an offer. I have no idea what they may be worth or if even worth buying.
Any information would be welcomed.

I paid $150 for a 3-9x32mm Plex one here in the classifieds not too long ago. Seemed fair at the time but had thought I could get a ballistic plex or elevation turret installed but I can’t so it’s just sitting around.

The 3-9x40mm FFII ballistic plex (& 4.5-14x 42 AO for that matter) are better scopes from my experience.

4.5-14 power compact scopes are an oxymoron. Your exit pupil and eye box and twilight factor are all compromised from the start, by design.

Just say no regardless of price. It's a flawed concept.

A compact 4.5-14 scope at an inexpensive price point sounds like a bad idea all the way around. A lot of trade offs will have to be made to get it to work in that form factor at that price point. I’d pass.
