HiCapMag Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I know of Horus and Nightforce...both about a grand or more. Does anyone else make a low power variable scope with a true one power bottom end? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azone41 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 The lowest ive seen is 1.5. I have a varaXIII thats a 1.5 - 5 and its great for close up work and still holds its own at 300 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactustactical Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 The IOR Valdada CQT scope is 1.1 - 4 x 26. It goes for about $650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Weaver Classic Variable 1-3x20. I've used it for about three years. I think it's the most underrated scope in 3 gun. It's a true 1 power scope, great field of view, good clear glass, in an small light-weight package. It will serve you well out to about 300 yards. Past 300, the 3 power setting starts to get a little light for precision work, but it can be done. Best of all is the price, usually around $175.

PacMan Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Leupold CQ/T is a honest 1x-3x scope. Works really well out to about 300-350 yds. Cheapest I've seen on AR15.com was a used one for $550, otherwise they run about $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I know of Horus and Nightforce...both about a grand or more.Does anyone else make a low power variable scope with a true one power bottom end? Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Check out the Bushnell Banner 1-4x32, #711432. Under $100. I've been using it on my AR for 3 gun and it's been great. Still use the Simmons 1.5-5x20 on other rifles, but the 1x is noticeably faster and has a wider FOV. joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinistralRifleman Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Leupold CQ/T is a honest 1x-3x scope. Works really well out to about 300-350 yds. Cheapest I've seen on AR15.com was a used one for $550, otherwise they run about $600. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Leupold is making a new reticle for it that will allow the shooter to be effective with it at farther distances, and it should be easier to hit smaller targets with too...they're supposed to send me a new CQT as soon as it is available.

That would be the ticket! We'd tried Premier Reticle and they would not touch it since it is illuminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the $ it is a good scope for the 'not for guns or money' matches . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiCapMag Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Thanks for all the responses. Pacman, just to confirm, have you looked through the Bushnell? I checked their website and they imply the scope is a true one power, but you know how that is. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little more than 1.25x when compared to the Trijicon Accupoint 1.25-4, and not quite 1.5x when compared to the Nikon 1.5-5. But hey, I can't complaint since the scope only cost $65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Pacman, How is the optics on the Bushnell? How does it compare to the Accupoint in terms of brightness and clarity? How does it track? Are the resetable turrets cheesy or good? Anything you don't like about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of optic for a practice gun it is clear without any noticeable distortions, but I can't compare the optics of a $65 scope to a $600 unit, just wouldn't be fair . The resetable turrets are kinda crude, but workable. Again, I'm using it on a practice upper shooting Wolf ammo at 100 yds, so I don't intent to put it through a 'box' test for repeatability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 hung, leupold offers thier vx-II in a 1-4 variable, you can get any reticle except illuminated ones in it. it is a very nice scope for about 300.00. trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I was just given a true 1x4 scope w/ lite rect. It has 111 ft. field of view @100 yds. Great glass w/30mm tube. Meostar scope at about $575.00 Has a 3 min. dot that is easy to use. That's right 111 ft. @ 100yds. See just about all the range. 1/4 min. clicks @ 100 yds. Looks like my answer to the almost perfect scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny hill Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 For close-up stuff, you just turn the dot up until it glows & it's just like looking through a aimpoint w/ both eyes open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
