Scope for kids

[ofl0926]

What’s up everyone.
I have an inbound 6 creed for my two to start shooting and hopefully hunt with. I’ll be shooting it as well lol
Kinda all over the place with the optic choice to put in there. What do you guys think? Power range? FFP or SFP? My son will be 7 in march and my daughter 9 in December. I do have an AR15 with irons to learn to shoot irons as well.
Thanks

You'll need a bit of patience, but a SWFA 6x MQ Gen2 is the easy button. Subscribe to this thread and turn on email notifications.

For a kid’s rifle, I like a little scope like the SWFA 2.5-10 Ultralight. It weighs less than half what the fixed 6x weighs. May make it a bit easier for them to hold and carry it.

Swfa 3x9 , trijicon credo or Huron

This with the plain duplex. MPBR if you’re hunting deer inside 200 yds is what we do. My kids been killing deer and hogs since about 8.

FFP
SWFA 6x mil/mil with milquad reticle or SWFA 3-9 mil/mil with milquad and put it on 6x and tape it there.

IMO, unless you’re going to be practicing shooting longer range, say past 250-300, I would go with a set-and-forget scope like the swfa 2.5-10.

If you plan on shooting longer, I’d go 3-9 swfa.

If you don’t like swfa, then substitute those recommendations for equivalent trijicon offerings.

I think this is easy, Trijicon Credo 3-9. I have them in red and green illuminated. Easy for the kids to pick out the crosshairs.

Ffp really only matters if you’re doing holdovers. Will they be shooting far enough to worry about windage and elevation holds?

I’d go with a 3-9 or 2.5-12.5 accupoint. As mentioned above it’s got a nice illuminated dot to help draw in their eye and capped turrets so it can be a set and forget scope and you won’t have to worry about turrets being accidentally spun. .
