I am looking for a quality scope for my Volquartsen 22lr with a
parrallax of 25yds or less. The local indoor gun range is 25yds. I have
looked and like the 3-9 kahles CL, but it only goes down to 30yds. I
have a Leupold VX II 3-9 EFR, but after using my Swarovski and
Nightforce scopes it is a let down. I have also considered a Bushnell
4200 4-16 AO, but would like a wider field of view for hunting small
game.
Also I have been told that I could use the kahles 3-9 CL and in order to get the parrallex down to 25yds I could just decrease the magnification to say 6 or 7. Is that true? Also what would be a minimum field of view for hunting small game?? 25yds, 30yds?? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments!! |

Go to another range. Are you shooting in someone's cellar?
If you're shooting game/varmints that are NOT running, you don't need much field of view. If you want some field of view--use it on 4X. That's enough. --Ed

5 yards should not be a problem as far as the CL goes...... the 30 setting will be just fine at 25. Regarding FOV....... what power are using in a hunting situation? I have all my scopes set on 4, and if I have to, I increase the power when needed! Which isn't very often!!

300S&W says,
"3x9 Sightron Big Sky w/ AO ,10 to infinity. Just read it on SWFA's product web sight."
This scope has gotten pretty good reviews here.

Thanks for your thoughts Tip69. I was not sure if it was parrallax free
to a min of 30yds if it would cause problems at 25yds(targets). When I
am hunting I am at the min magnification which is 3 to 4x. I looked at
the 3x9 Sightron Big Sky w/ AO, but it seems that everyone raves about
the Kahles as being a much better scope. So that is why I was looking
at it.

I'm kind of new to this paralax thing, but what I understand, 5 yds shouldn't be a big deal. You might want to post this question on the rifle scope thread....... you'll get more hits over there. I have just recently purchased a Kahles CL 3-10X50........ so you know I like those. I have not seen the Big Sky, so can't say how it compares. I just added it because it is a quality scope and has the 10 yd adjustment.
