Rifle Scopes FFP for 22LR

[michael_aos]

I've got an IOR 3-18x44mm Snipers Hide Edition on my 22LR. It works great from 50yds - 150yds where I use it most of the time, but I wish i could focus <50yds sometimes.

I've got a Falcon Menace 5-25x50mm on my Benjamin Marauder 22 air-rifle. I actually do crank it up to 25x for punching paper up close, but I could probably live with 12x-16x on the high end.

I'd been waiting for the new Vortex offerings, but they only focus down to 50yds.

I was thinking about trying a Falcon 4-14x, but quality seems to be spotty.

Is there any other low-end FFP that focuses <50yds besides the new Bushnell FFP?

Kind of leaning toward the Bushnell 3-12x44 FFP.

Re: FFP for 22LR

I have yet to actually find the Bushnell FFP's listed on their website.

Reading specs from other sources, I've seen both 10m and 20m minimum listed.

I'd prefer a reticle with 1/2 mil stadia lines if possible (like TMR or Gen 2 XR).

How close does the Falcon menace 5-25 focus?

I use a Horus Predator 8-26 on my Anschutz 22 but it only focuses down to 50Y.

There's the 6-24 Bushnell FFP.It focus's down to 25Y.

I own the B3-12FFP.It's a good scope for the money.I think I'm going to buy a B6-24FFP

Re: FFP for 22LR

The Falcon Menace 5.5-25x50mm focuses down to ~10m. I am really pretty happy with it on my air rifle. I don't turn the knobs much though, so I'm not sure how robust they really are. I tend to shoot mostly <20yds. Crossman Premier 14.3gr @ probably 800fps. Velocity is adjustable, but I just left it at the factory PCP setting.

Seems like no one says anything nice about the bushnell 6-24x50mm FFP.

I was thinking I'd try the 3-12x, and if it doesn't work out i can always stick it on an AR-10 or AR15.

I've got a Premier 5-25x or Nightforce 3-15x50mm I could stick on there, but back to the same issue that they don't focus up close.

Fave run the Falcon down to 10 m without a problem.
