Pistol scopes

[JB101]

It's for Club level target competitions, round bull's eyes mostly at 25 yards although there may be some similar to the old Police Pistol targets at 10 and 15 yards.

I'm not too bad with the black cross hairs/target thing, I do a fair amount of rifle shooting on targets like that and manage OK. Which Leupolds are you using, I have seen an M8-2X Extended Eye Relief scope at a decent price but I understand the parallax on that scope is set at 50 or 100 yards, so not good for 25yd targets.

It’s an m8 2x and it’s a fine cross hair .For target shooting I prefer iron sights as less ‘wobble’ or so it appears when compared to a scope at arms length.

Hi James,
Thanks for the response. That's the Leupold model I may be interested in. Is it usable at 25 yards on paper targets, or is the parallax set at a much greater distance?

Ive been using a PAO 2-8x pistol scope and am well pleased with it. The 8x is only really feasible bench supported to to my shakes being magnified but hand held at 2 to 4x at those ranges it does the job nicely

Yes it’s useable at 25m/ yds 👍
I can’t recall what the parallax is set at as I only use it at 20yds

Thanks James, that's a big help. The Leupold may be what I am looking for.
