I have a nice little Anschutz 1433 fullstock carbine .22 Hornet that currently wears a Leupold VXII 2-7x28. The scope is the correct size and power, but I'd like to upgrade the scope to better optical quality.
My criteria:
- Small and light to match the little rifle.
- No more than 3x magnification on the low end, no more than 10x on the high end. 2-7 or 2.5-8x would be ideal. 3-9x acceptable.
- no exposed twisty turrets, all turrets low profile
- decent low light performance ( I know I will need to compromise with small scopes)
- quick focus eyepiece
- Simple reticle, duplex or German #4
Of the scopes I presently own, and have mounted on other rifles, a Kahles Helia 2-7x36 would fit my needs perfectly, or a Zeiss Conquest 2.5-8x32. But both are discontinued models.
It seems that such small, low power variables are not selling well these days and manufacturers are catering to the long range turret twisting crowd or making scopes for AR rifles. Any suggestions for me??
