http://www.atncorp.com/DayOptics/RifleScopes/ATN3-9X55LU I've heard questionable things about ATN scopes, but I'd like to find a scope that's just like it... Stubby, fat... Hard to explain "the look" I'm after, but I'd like it to be as short as possible with a reasonably large objective lense, target turrets would be ideal, reticle options would be nice as well, quality is a concern. Maybe like a cut down version of the Super Sniper. Anyone know of anything along these lines? 10x or so power, variable maybe. |

I am a little confused. Thats a long scope. Its not stubby at all. The only reason it even appears stubby in that pic is the angle its photoed at, the fact its not mounted to a weapon, and has a 55mm objective lens. If you want a short scope look at a Leupold MR/T. If you want a fat objective get a LR/T with 50mm objective. If you want something with a large occular lens housing and large objective look at USO SN3 1.8-10x. On a personal note I think its sad when people buy optics based on what they look like on the weapon instead of what features they have or what the view is through the optic. |

Quoted: If quality is a concern, know this: there is a reason high quality scopes are not short. quote] The ACOG fanatics around here are going to give you a blanket party for that one. As for short quality scopes, I don't know of too many with the "look" you're after, but there's a lot of good fixed power scopes (Burris and Leupold come to mind) that are short, light, and quality. I've often thought a Leupold Ultralight 3x9 would be a pretty good scope. Short, light, and quality. |
I was talking about variable-mag, larger-objective scopes, the type that would have target turrets. Not ACOG-style. |

Both ATN scopes I had were crap... Also, if you'll notice, ATN doesn't publish the WEIGHT of their scopes anywhere. It's because they weigh more than pretty much ANYTHING else available. I don't reccommend this scope for ARs often, but the SuperSniper sounds like it might fit the "look" you're going for. It's a great piece of glass, but for me, it was too much magnification for the 5.56.
