Hi,
Like I say, I need recommendations for a compact scope that's 9" max, preferably a little less.
It's not really going on a tactical rifle but a Marlin Papoose .22lr with a 3/8" dovetail setup.
I figure that the are more tatical scopes that fit the description than "regular" rifle scopes. True?
Thanks,
Mike

Oh yeah, I don't think a red dot is going to the the trick for what I need, which is lots of accuracy at 50yds. Maybe I red dot will do the trick I don't know. You guys tell me.

looney, No worries, my man. You don't sound exactly like a dick... .
I just thought there may be some folks who only come to the Tactical Scopes Forum because they are AR-15 afficianados or own some other type of tactical rifles who might have an answer.
And maybe they don't go to the regular Rifle Scopes Forum very often, if at all, so I thought I'd ask the question here. And I bet I'm right on that to some degree!
And I know the last gun show I attended, I was looking at a tac scope that was 7.5" and cost a small fortune. Wish I could remember the name of it. But nevertheless, I saw it.
SO, I was hoping one of the tactical fellas might have a suggestion. Sorry if this upsets you, I really am.
And I do appreciate the input of the guys, including yours, who responded to the other post.
Mike

AH the Tactical Marlin 70PSS well the options are longer high power optic in quick detachable base or one of the short tactical optics in a low power or a dot. Since you are looking for a scope that you can compete on paper with I think a quick detachable set of rings with a longer scope is the answer. The best solution would be to have a gunsmith drill and tap the reciever and install a base. There are some adapters that go from 22 groved recievers to weaver but it is not ideal. If you could live with a 1.5 to 5x either a Sightron SII or Leupold VX3 would be short enough to work using talley 22cal dovetail rings as a fixed setup. The detachable rings idea gives you the option to select a longer more target capable optic like a 10x or 16x or 20x Super Sniper or a Leupold target scope or a Bushnell 4-16x40 4200.
The scopes short enought to fit what you are wanting are very expensive and have low power usually 3x or less like Trijicon compact ACOG, Leupold Prismatic (Tactical), IOR
