Inexpensive 30mm tube illuminated

[Kracken McGraw]

Just the center dot. I can see a black dot if it is a half minute or larger And the background has a contrast. My main problem in my chosen shooting is that most all steel in silhouette is painted black and a black dot is totally lost to me. I Like the Arken and similar as it has a small dot for precision but has the surrounding illuminated lines to make finding and centering the small dot possible.

You might like the Sightron SIII PLR #28008 6-24x50. It’s a second focal plane scope with just the dot illuminated on the moa2 reticle. LanceXXX has this one listed on his new sale list in the commercial sales forum.

Leupold is nice but...to rich for me... I need to check out the 500 Meter targets at 15x to see if that is enough magnification to get it done for me.

Checking with Lance now on the Sightron. Thanks for the lead Kracken ....

Terrible photo, but you get the idea.

Indeed.... I'm going to try and find one of these and look myself. Dot appears to be pretty small but with it being adjustable perhaps I can crank the brightness up to the perfect point....

Yes you can get it real bright. There was no way for me to get the camera to capture a true image indoors. It’s a nice dot to see in a dark background, 11 different brightness settings.

To make certain we are on the same page. The scope you photo'ed is?

That #28008 plr SIII 6-24 mentioned above. I have one of those and thought I would show you since you mentioned just wanting the center dot illumination .

Seems like a great thing that the "lower tier" scopes are now getting to be pretty darn good and reliable.

I have a Hawke 6x24x56 with 30mm tube and lighted reticle, focuses to 9 yards . It has over 7000 shots with a Springer air rifle, noted scope killers. Found it online at Dvor for under 400.00. I look at all my 2500.00 scopes and think, We are getting ripped off. It has a Lifetime Warranty .

I know some air rifle shooters.. Worth asking them for sure....?

If you get on optics planets I see some illuminate Hawke Air Max 30s for as low as 409. 00. If your a veteran the price might even be lower. Just a phone call away friend,
