Sub-compact riflescopes

Sub-compact rifle scopes keep weight and length to a minimum—great for handy carbines, PCCs, and rimfire builds where balance matters.

• Magnification: ultra-short LPVOs (1–4×/1–5×) or micro-prisms (1×/3×) for fast, bright sighting.
• Objective size: smaller bells (20–28 mm) mount lower and reduce bolt/cap interference.
• Rings: match tube size (1"/30 mm) and choose the lowest height that still clears; very short main tubes may need offset/cantilever rings.
• Base: Picatinny rings offer the most options (including QD). If your rifle lacks a rail, add a model-specific Picatinny rail or use dovetail rings.

Install tip

• Degrease and use Loctite threadlocker; torque bases/caps to spec, level the reticle, and verify bolt/barrel clearance.
