Best value Leshiy scopes?
Could we make a top 3 or top 5 list of the most suitable and best “bang for your Buck” scopes to put on a Leshiy? It seems you are able to buy it now so surely the people who do must have ideas on scopes?
My priorities would be:
1. Weight
2. Turrets
3. Glass
4. Reticle
Turrets must be Good because switching caliber will mean dialing them turrets. Weight is obvious. Good glass is always nice and a reticle suitable for a airgun. Also not everyone can afford a March 1-10 😉

Two budget scopes for the Leshiy very impressed with the performance of these two for the price tag
The vector has great eye relief, Falcon slightly sharper image good ret for holdover shots :5:
I was looking at that falcon scope as on my theoben mfr I had a falcon css menace think it was called. Fixed mag and really like the scopes. Being sub 12 I don’t like the idea of fixed parallax at 100 but is it true the smaller the mag the less px error you get? How do you find it. I’m sub12 so didn’t fancy 100yd fixed px.
I’ve saw a pistol scope the PAO 2-7 mag fixed px at 35yds but I don’t trust the quality of it. Think it sounds good for short range cheap scope tho.
No parallax issues with either scopes both well below 100yds on top zoom/mag
Vector Grimlock down to 10yds crisp clear to infinity on 6x zoom, nice super fine illuminated centre dot, really wide field of view and great eye relief, for £120 delivered to my front door inc qd mounts & lense caps this is a really good budget sight for the Leshiy.
Falcon M5 from factory setting on 5x zoom I can get away with 15yds at present not 100% but we’ll shootable but at such close range it’s fine on lower magnification x4 and below very clear, it is possible to reparallax this model and I will do so when I get more time, great ir reticle though for holdover shots on this scope, eye relief is not as good but still ok for me positioned flush with breech, has a slightly tighter field of view still a quality budget scope.

Couple more for the mix

guys,,,,
i think this bugger is not bad, what do you think??
why dont you put a collimator on it, can get any lighter 😛
Strelok + rangefinder is the way to go anyway 🙂
What I was able to find out: Airmax is considerably superior glass-wise to Panorama, and also Panorama has no parallax correction and Airmax DOES, which is very welcome at airgun ranges. So I’d definitely go for Airmax… and actually I did, it’s on a way to me, should be great on either Leshiy or lelya. For a start I’ll try it on Lelya, should be great! Pics will follow (hopefully soon).
It’s calibrated at 10x and is a 2-7. I guess either using it at 5x or using Strelok pro would be adviced.
or if you like ½ mil dot reticle more. http://eu.hawkeoptics.com/panorama-2-7×32-10x-mil-dot.html
– just 10.6 inch long
– paralax adjustment down to 7 meters
– most excellent reticle, thin, glass etched, very airgun friendly
– lightweight
– surprisingly good optics, especially at that price
– 1/4 MOA adjustment, quite decent covered knobs
Piter,,,the best choice even more then the best for the price so far … this is the perfect one for the price i think,,,,

I got this one on my lelya and it works very good.

Too bad the integrated one is not weaver. But anyhow, at $65 maybe it’s worth just to try and have some fun? 🙂
Yes, also Kandar and Beeman. Reviews seem typical of the cheaper Chinese stuff.. hit and miss quality. I like how compact it is however.

I have mounted what i think is the best compromise in terms of magnification (1.5-5) , size, weight, (price 200-250$), and looks. This scope is designed for crossbows but is very usable on a pcp. Just do your own range charts with few tests. Fixed parallax makes everything clear from 15-100yards+ on a 5x magnification. In addition, it is short enough to fit before it reaches the offset moderator and can therefore be used with any low/medium mounts of your choice.

Great clarity, love the illuminated reticle, an ideal hunting / pest control scope. Doesnt destroy the gun’s concept and really serves its purpose. Also comes with flip up caps and fits very well in the gun’s original case.
Sent on the go from my pocket.
