You could give the bsa 4-16x40 contender a go at 480g it's 185g lighter than my 10x44 viper and plenty of aim points.
I use mine on my S410k .22 and I think it's a great light scope considering the features it has.
Calm down fella, as what I said was my opinion and as you state "best rets you've used" i.e. personal opinions
Following the strong defence of the ret I have just had another look and youre right it looks quite neet with little rings but I suppose its ease of use is dependant on where the rings fall in relation to the pellet drop of your set up - thars only an opinion though
The little Leup at 11" and 11oz is perfect but shitty ret.....
The search goes on
not sure which end is the safest--------------one of one
You can use the top of a ring as an aim point, the centre of the ring , the bottom of a ring plus the gaps in between the rings.The only aim point missing is for hold under![]()
.177 FX Cyclone/ Nikon Prostaff, .177 TR Ultra/ Mamba Lite, .25 BSA Hornet/ Hawke SR6, .177 Steyr/Viper Connect
Quite like that ret
have no problem with no hold under can just zero at top of arc and use all hold unders
but the scopes (Monarch and Prostaff) seem relatively light/short withour parallax adjustment but with it they are relatively heavy/long
The target EFR with AO is sweet but has a plain ret![]()

I use a leapers 3_9x32 bugbuster on my skan nice and compact and light,and a great little scope for 50 quid from jsr![]()

The EDgun?: http://edgun.ru/en/cat/guns.php
I would love one of those. They are really nice
or do you mean hazza's Skan?
I'd also like to see hazza's SkanI know that'd be a tad off topic, but Skans are bullpups

Yukon 2-12x32 if you can find one, but probably toooo heavy!

Your problem is clearly the fact that your gun is SO small that most decent scopes are too large and unbalance your rig.The Simmons scope is actually the prettiest and most logical to use on such a small rig as yours but as you say 5x mag isn't that large. It is a wonderful scope though. Have a look at the Bushnell Elite 2-7x32. A bit larger than the Simmons with excellent optics from the 'Elite' range. However it is only available with a simple reticle-multi X I think they call it. It looks to me that you need a quality compact 3-9x40 with a reticle that suits you and adjustable parallax.

Have you had a look at the buckmasters? They're not very long, and SF.
See here, the 4.5-14x40: http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/a...4-06172121.jpg
The glass is awesome too.
