Scopes for our game
Quote from majorfs45 on March 16, 2016, 2:14 pmThought we should list some of the current makers of scopes that are legal for our game.
1. MVA Montana Vintage Arms offer several choices of scopes.
2. D-Z Arms is making an great 8x approximately 20" scope. Plus, the offer a great unertl style mounts too.
3. Leatherwood 4x and 6X 19"scope
We have some guys making small quantities of nice scopes too. I know Jimmie Summerfield makes a nice scope on occassion. Sure there are a few more.
Many one know of another scope maker out there? Tag on to this thread if you do!

Quote from 22ballard on March 28, 2016, 2:28 pmFor those whose budget doesn't permit paying the cost of a 23" or 28" MVA or a DZ Arms scope, there are some options with "vintage" scopes that are BPCRA compliant. Here's a list of scopes that comes to mind, I expect that there are a few more out there. The prices will range from $300 to $700, depending on model/condition. Keep in mind that "vintage" scopes, while cheaper, don't have the optical quality of modern scopes. The up-side is that they do have the advantage of increasing in value over time since they are collectible. When looking at vintage scopes, keep in mind that micrometer/target mounts are preferable since they will allow easier/repeatable windage/elevation changes.
Lyman 438 Filed Scope (4x)
Lyman 5A (5x)
Lyman Target Spot Jr (8x - 12x)
Winchester A5 (5x) and B3-B5 (3x-5x) other various Winchester scopes (6x - 8x)
Stevens, various models
Unertl Small Game (4x, 6x)
Fecker Woodchucker (6x -10x)

hmph. Apparently, this site doesn't like photos. I thought it was supposed to be easier with photos.
Well go to this url [url]http://www.public.iastate.edu/~jessie/PPB/Low%20Wall%2022/Lowwall%20on%20fence%20smaller.jpg[/url]
I'll try again

I think I like the old site better

Quote from BrentD on March 28, 2016, 8:48 pmI should have added the MVA B5 with target knobs will get you rolling for a little over $600 and it's a heck of a scope - brand new and backed by MVA, the best in the business and the biggest sponsor of .22BPCR.

Quote from 22ballard on March 28, 2016, 9:43 pmYes, the Fecker Woodchucker scopes have 1 1/4" objective lenses, and are therefor not legal. The earlier 3/4" target scopes are legal.

Quote from BrentD on August 11, 2016, 3:20 pmNo max power limits. Just the size of the objective and the non-clickness of the external adjustments.

Quote from Billinthedesert on November 18, 2017, 7:36 amNew guy here. Someone might want to re-visit the "History and Objectives" page that says scopes are not allowed.

Quote from 22ballard on December 18, 2017, 11:41 amThe sentence reads; " Scopes or sights with iris-type adjustmants are not permitted." There are rules that define legal scopes that can be used in scope classes in .22BPCR Silhouette.
