Does anyone make the scope I want?

I am new to trying Air Rifle Field Target. The targets are between 7 yards to 60 yards. Folks use the parallax adjustment to range find. To try it I bought a $400 dollar 5-24 power scope with a side parallax adjustment. This worked pretty slick ranging my targets but the optics are not the quality I am use to. I started looking for a quality optic and am not finding what I want. I have a 6.5-20 EFR but its adjustment is the front objective. Any ideas of side adjustable parallax variable that will focus down to 10 yards and has quality optics that won’t wash out. I don’t think I want over 25ish power on the high end.

Thanks, Sparky

Lots of competition air rifle shooters using the March scopes. They focus down to 10 yards. Pricing is not for the faint at heart!

The popular scope for the air rifles is the 8-80X

I did a bit off field target a couple years ago and generally we used 32x mag scopes as a minimum, with the side fokus "range finding" the image poped into fokus a bit better with higher mag scopes. There were one or 2 guys using 25x but the guys that usually received something when all was said and done were running 50 and 60x mag scope. March, Big Sightrons and a couple big S&B FTs were usually on top of the rifles. A very good scope that allot of guys used and even more had as a backup scope for their March or what ever is the Nikko Stirling Diamond 10-50×60. It has a bigger mag than what you want but its a very nice scope. Im sure you can find a well looked after one and still have some $ left over. Back in the day this was the standard for air rifle FT scopes and they are still used over the world today.
