Close range retical for air rifle

[brokeasajoke]

Getting ready to order a scope for my PCP with parallax adjustment down to 15yds. Just curious as to thoughts on retical choice. I guess the biggest concern would be hold "under". On a side note can buy it from amazon cheaper than I can get it shipped with first responder discount from a great reputable company. I'm thinking about getting from them anyway cause Amazon has enough money anyway. Here's the choices. On Amazon it's a $2 to get illuminated.

I use a Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 3-9x40 with a BDC for my air rifle. I wish they still made that scope because you will not find ED glass in any scope than costs $ 400... I still look for one here and there because their glass is that good.

Once I have it zeroed at 15 or 20 yards I shoot a longer ranges and figure out the BDC lines.

Problem is different pellets will drop or not drop as much so a BDC specific for a air rifle is something you will have to figure out when shooting. Practically same thing applies to a centerfire BDC reticle. Zero at most common distance and figure out the bdc drops from there.

I have a Leupold 6.5X20 EFR with the varmint hunter reticle on my PCP. I sight the first reticle in at 30yds. and then shoot it at other distances to see where the point of impact is for the other reticles and then I put a cheat sheet on my rifle.

I always use a range finder as well.

Ended up with a mil-dot Athlon that focuses down to 10yds. Warranty says they'll replace even if damage is accidental, but hope I never need it. Mounted it with some Burris signature zee rings

Check out Falcon Optics. They have a new scope (10x-50x X 60mm) called the X-50 that comes in two versions. One version is for the air rifle shooters and the other for long range. They are equipped with quality Japanese glass. Good shooting...James
