gwahirdream scope
I would like a fixed power about 15x, no target turret, and minute hash marks. Any ideas?

GSSPHaving looked over 1/2 dozen sites, using their and other search engines, I don't think a scope with your parameters exists.

gwahirAlan, I think you are right. Simplicity is hard to come by!

SamLooks like Weaver used to make a model KT15 about 5 years ago. Couple on ebay once in a while.

gwahirGentlemwn, the scopes you mention have moa adjustments, but do not have moa hash marks in the reticle. I want moa hash marks inorder to relate to a moa drop chart without having to use the turrets. Interesting scopes, though. Thanks.

PeterWell why not get a Zeiss Conquest with Z reticule? The hash marks may not be exactly MOA, but their website has the drop for a given caliber, bullet and velocity. Sorry I did not think of that earlier. Mine is a variable though.

45-70 shooterSecond focal plane variable scopes with any range finding reticle ONLY work at ONE power setting.
My IOR 4-28 ONLY works at 22 X for the adjustmants and hash marks to mean anything.
My Conquest 4.5-14 ONLY works at 13.4X for my 300 H&H load.
There is a reason all real sniper scopes are first focal plane as the power setting makes no difference in "milling".
No idea what your budget is, if big get a 4-16 Schmidt with the mil dot reticle. If cheap, find a mint 10x43 Unertl Vulture, send it to TK Lee and have him put some dots in it. They are both quality scopes not some chinese junk.

InstructorCheck out Leupold's custom shop scope offerings.
Might be able to build their FXIII 12x w/ desired reticle. Not the 15x, but most likely close enough, just a thought.

Tyler KempOh just a 1-20x50 with at least 50 mils of adjustment and 10 mil knobs, not to mention a nice reticle. (I like the GAP reticle)
Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!
