I think it would be an amazing option to have a shorter minimum focus. Of course, the LPVO focuses down to very close distances and I don't expect a 7-30 to quickly focus down to 5 yards at the lowest magnification. However, it is VERY common for hunters or pest elimination ventures to take shots at 150 yards then have a perfect shot opportunity show up at 5 to 10 yards. I suppose I could throw a red dot on the side but I am an air rifle shooter and everything is more delicate.
I can throw a .30 pellet at an ethical minute-of-pigeon at 120-ish yards. But when I set up I know how far every thing is from me to 120 yards. I have had to let plenty of shots go at 20 yards because I don't like blurry shots on living things.
Would it be lighter and less expensive to add a red dot on my Arken? Or buy a scope that can throw lever over to 3 power and wheel the parallax to clear shots at minimum distance?
If you want to aim accurately, minimizing operations when shooting at different distances like in raft wars, then you should invest in a scope that will help adjust parallax to a low level.
Our EPL4 will easily get you out to 120yards, and has a minimum focus range of 10yards. That should cover everything that you are needing to do. Also be sure to add a good 20-30MOA rail to allow as much internal adjustment for the longer shots.
