Up Close Ratting Scope Recommendations

[rab19]

Hi All,

Out Air Rifle ratting last night on a new permission. One serious hot spot was the feed shed, unfortunately it’s only 4 yards square and my MTC 4-16 X 50 won’t focus down to sub 10 yards with the Pard 007 on it.

So looking for a scope for really up close and personal stuff that can be fitted with the Pard. Are there any new cheap and cheerful scopes that have come on the market or is it still the Hawke 2-7x32 AO and UTG Bug Buster the two go to scopes still?

Thanks.

For that range, what about a red dot instead?

Red dot woul be ideal or laser even.

Unfortunately the little blighters only come out when it's pitch black. As soon as any light is shown there off.

I'd recommend the Hawke 2-7 mentioned. On 2 power and minimum parallax setting it will do the job. What a lovely, versatile little scope.

Is an IR laser and viewer doable? Or an IR holographic and viewer?

My Nikko Sterling Panamax works very well with the pard👍

If it is pitch black, would you see anything through the scope anyway?

He will with his Pard Night Vision add on fitted.
