Scope for an Annie

[COREY]

I have wanted an Anschutz since I was a kid. Decided I want a hunting style 1416L so am waiting for the next shipment from Nordic Marksman.

Since I am waiting I am contemplating a scope. What I wanted was a Leupold 4.5-14X40 AO with a 1" tube but they do not seem to make them anymore. Went to look for a Bushnell Elite 4200 4-16x40 AO but they do not make those either. Anyone have a suggestion for a quality non target rifle sized scope in that power range with an AO that will adjust down to 50 yards?

It's not clear that this particular one has an adjustable objective (AO).

I do not think it does. Leopold's new scopes have EFR marked on them now if they have AO from what I can see, and the photo does not show a side adjustment or a ring adjustment.

I've been eyeballing one of these for my rimfires.

That is an interesting find. It feels weird to be in my early 40s and feel like an old fart, but the giant scopes now are a bit much. I have a huge Leupold on my target rifle, but I see more and more people carrying massive scopes on hunting rifles meant for carrying, not sitting on a bench.

Sightron STAC 3-16x42....side focus, compact in size, performs very well

About the same profile as a standard 3x9 scope

Sorry it indeed does not have AO and I called and confirmed. I went by the listing which states AO and is incorrect.

What do people think of a 5-15 as a scope for a 22?

I do not think it does. Leopold's new scopes have EFR marked on them now if they have AO from what I can see, and the photo does not show a side adjustment or a ring adjustment.

There were always two EFR scopes in the Leupold line up as far as I know; a 3-9 and a 6.5-20. That stands for extended focal range. They will dial down to air rifle distances.

My pick would be the 3-9 EFR which has morphed into the Freedom line-up now. Another possibility is having a fixed parallax scope re-adjusted to rimfire distances. Korth used to do it on Leupolds for 15 bucks, and probably still does. Its actually quite easy to do yourself if you know how.

The VX-Freedom 3-9x33 EFR weighs 12oz and I suspect it's the lightest option you'll find with adjustable parallax. The 6.5-20x40 EFR weighs 17oz. A Vortex Crossfire II 4-12X40 AO is 19oz.

On a trim rifle like that, I think you'd want to avoid something big and heavy on top.

I see posts for Bushnell Rimfire 3-12 or 6-18 x 40
Maybe not Annie level, but how do these perform
Anyone find them in Canada?
