Thread: Vixen optics

Picked up a Vixen 3-12x40 BDC on trade me and mounted it on the BSA 284 tonight. Very impressed with first look. Smooth power ring, quick focus eye piece, positive clicks and crystal clear.

The Conetrol rings take a bit to line up but they are rock solid (and no need for Locktite etc). I’m bore sighted and ready to print some paper. Found the sub-tensions on line. They were for 8x so I’ve calc’d the reduction at 12x and looks good if I sight in 2inch high at 100yards to shoot out to 450yards.

Watch out Leupold....

Sighted in and super easy - first two shots about 3 inches low and 3 inches left. Clicked 16 up and 12 right and pretty good to go




Minor adjustment and I’m ready with the BDC out to 400 with my rangefinder

Scope is nice and clear
