Knife, Great thread. As an aside, I am getting a DS Regal XL soon, and I am concerned about the weight of the Athlon and whether or not it will be too much for the Regal. I am wrestling between getting the SWFA 3-15X42 FFP scope (24 oz) vs. a lighter Leupold VX3i FFP scope at 20 oz.Your thoughts?Thanks
TunedAccuracy - I just re-read your thread on 'being able to have parallax less than 50 yards.' Exactly right, I would not want that restriction on any air gun purchase as it would be totally useless to me if I can't have it at 10 yards preferably. I need to have it from 10-to infinity and as I looked at the specs on the Leupold, I could not determine if the VX3-i LRP I mentioned does / doesn't have it. Do you know or better yet, are there ANY Leupold FFP models that have parallax down to 10 yards? tx.
...But you know. Any old scope will work. You could top it off with a 79.00 tasco and that will work too.Not me. No more cheap bargain brand optics for me. The Meopta 4-16x44 ZD is next on my list. And believe me, it is an absolutely STUNNING rifle scope.

And believe me, it is an absolutely STUNNING rifle scope.I had a conversation with another forum member about this scope brand and haven't heard it mentioned since. I'm glad to see another shooter that thinks it's a good one as I'd like to have one as well.Also, could you provide a link to your thread: "being able to have parallax less than 50 yards." I did a few searched but was not able to find it. I'd like to check it out. Thanks!
