Obviously this is largely based upon your style of hunting and shooting. I’m a woods hunter. I hit the squirrel woods once I kill a few dummies around the house early in the season. These are the younger squirrels that usually don’t know what hunting is. I generally don’t like to to take many shots beyond 45 yards. I prefer bullpup PCPs, but will hunt with a traditional rifle styled PCP. For me I like scopes with magnification ranges of 3-12x and 4-16x (ideally a 3-18x scope would be great) ,a throw lever, first focal plane (FFP) scopes that have a side parallax that has a minimum focus of 10 yards, an illuminated reticle (with a daytime bright setting), and thick, dark posts outside of the reticle to make it easy to acquire shots in the lower magnification ranges.

I like scopes like this Primary Arms SLx, especially when they’re on sale.


Ideally I’d like to try this one. I’m not crazy about the reticle. Primary Arms SLx 3-18x50mm FFP Gen II Rifle Scope - Illuminated ACSS Athena BPR MIL Reticle

What do you use and prefer? If you care to elaborate, please tell us why.
