I’m looking for something that starts relatively low like 3-6x and will magnify up to 20+ has a good fine reticle with mill or moa hash marks and is second focal plane with a side paralax adjustment knob. For under or around $400
I want it to be a solid performer in terms of repeating and tracking as it will be ran up and down a lot. This is for a rim fire so as long as it will focus at 25 yards I’m good..
I have been looking around a lot and can find first focal plane everything but, the fact the cross hairs magnify drive me insane and you can’t see the very small targets because the crosshairs cover them up.
I’ve looked at Athelon, busnell, and Nikon just haven’t found everything I’m wanting.

I haven’t seen a scope with 20X magnification that I’d care to own in your price range.

You missed the Midway sale on the Bushnell Forge. That's about the only one I've seen that would fit all your parameters, OP.

Yeah, it’s for a rimfire rifle so kinda wanna keep the price low.. It’s a hard thing to find, I have a couple night force scopes and they are both dedicated to rifles.
Totally understand on the clarity, especially over about 18x
Just seems like everything is ffp, I did see that Nikon x1000 or whichever model it is, has any had one what does it repeat?

Agreed, learned my lesson the hard way. I got a Millet years ago with a giant 56mm lens and up to 25x. First of all, it was just really not that clear past 20x. even at that magnification being ok quality, the scope still had other issues.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Shot it again this weekend.
My brother has a Nikon Black FX1000 on a Rem 700 LR in 30-06. He has had it for two years and been happy with it. I shot it this weekend side by side to my SWFA 5-20HD and I gotta say I still really like the Nikon, clarity compares well to the SS. I think its still more than your stated 400, but is more wallet friendly than many of the others.
I like my swfa, but if I find myself looking for another scope I will give the Nikon a try.
