Non dialing scope that holds zero??

[Sandstrom]

I am looking to set up a gun for my little brother with a new scope. He will mainly hunt deer in northern MN. He has no intention or desire to dial as his maximum shot distance will be in the 100 yard range. I would like to find a scope that is as reliable as my SWFAs with out the option to dial (capped adjustments, no exposed dials). Does something like this exist?? I would be open to either variable or fixed magnification. Once again, I am looking for a rough and tumble scope that can take a fall and still hold zero with out dialing.
Thanks,
Ryan

You can loosen the set screws on an SWFA and wrap a stip of tape half on the turret and half on the housing to make it a non-dialing scope.

Otherwise they do have a capped ultralight version.

Shv 3-10, with moar reticle.

Leupold VX3 scopes have never let me down. However, I’ve only been using a version of them since the 90s.

Capped SHV or SWFA ultralight. Fixed 4x Leupold has a reputation for being pretty robust as well.

Or for a less conventional option, something like a 1-6 Razor or 1-4 Trijicon would be pretty close to bomb proof, fast in the dark woods and more than enough magnification for 100 yards.

Trijicon credo 3-9 is money!

Leupold fixed 2.5x is near indestructible. I’ve got one that has spent the last 30 years on a 45/70 then a 338 and now on a 375.

Trijicon MRO 2 MOA green dot is a perfect fit for that purpose as well

Millions of guys have been getting it done with 3x9x40 Leupolds for the last 5 or 6 decades. I think the VX freedom is the only one without a dial now.

I realize that most here would rule out a "budget" scope like the vortex strike eagle, but I've had one on a bolt action 450 bushmaster for 5 years now. Its been knocked around, traveled thousands of miles, and hasn't needed any adjustment since it's initial sight in. Glass is reasonable, it has illumination even though I don't use it, and 6x is plenty for a 300 yard shot (which is the extreme end of the range for the .450 -at least for me).

Second the Burris Fullfield 2. Great scope for the money.

What stores stock a 2.5 fixed leupold?- If they still make it. I've wanted to look at one for quite a while for a single shot 45/70. Haven't seen one at BP or cabelas, academy, etc.

I don’t know who would stock one.

I had mine on a Ruger #1 45/70 for a while. It absorbed hot loads and kept on going in style.

Midway has them.

Lots of scopes fit the bill....

I've got a couple of fixed power Leupold scopes that have been getting it done for 2 decades and a couple Zeiss 3-9x that are 15 years old.

For "set it and forget it" a Leupold is hard to beat.

As reliable as a SWFA? NF SHV 3-10 with illuminated ForcePlex reticle.

The Nikon on my son's 243 hasn't needed adjustment in over 10 years. My VX3 on my 30-06 is going on 14 years without needing adjustment. My wife's rifle has a cheaper vortex scope that is going on 8 years without adjustment. We are nice to our guns and keep them in cases but they do go in the field yearly and shoot 20-100 rounds through each yearly.
