FoxPup is a compact youth model version of our famous baby Redfield replacement scope called the WolfPup.
FoxPup's have 2.7" to 3" eye relief
FoxPups are made for youth size 22 rifles such as the beautiful little Keystone Chipmunk and Cricket rifles that have 11 to 12-inch trigger pull.
Ideal for Browning Micro LA 22, Winchester 9422, Winchester 63 with groove receiver, Henry Lever 22's that allow the rear scope ring placement directly over the trigger.
Up until now, no scaled down 3/4" tube high quality scope was available for kid's 22's.
A big 1" scope with long eye relief on a youth model .22 is like an elephant sitting on a mouse.
The new little FoxPup is a 1 inch shorter scaled down 3/4" tube 8-1/4" long 4X-24 scope especially made for young shooters firing youth model 22's.
NOTE: FoxPups are Not made for adults! However, some rifles do allow FoxPup use on rifles such as on the Tarus / Win model 63 with grooved receiver and Winchester 94/22 that allow the rear scope ring to be directly over the trigger.
GruBee's Rule of thumb. If the rear scope ring can set directly above the trigger then an adult can use a FoxPup scope with 3" eye relief but you must make sure the scope Objective Bell doesn't hit the rear sight which means you may need high scope rings.
Normally adults need the 4" eye relief WolfPup scope for a 14" trigger pull on rifles that position the rear scope ring 1" or more forward of the trigger.
Our FoxPup has a 1-inch shorter tube length than our WolfPup and also has a 3" eye relief for the shorter 11" to 12" trigger pull found on youth scaled down 22 rifles.
The WolfPup has a 4" eye relief versus the FoxPup's 3" eye relief,
NOTE: If a 4" eye relief scope is installed on a 11" trigger pull rifle it requires 8- to 12-year-old young shooters to hold their head so far back they cannot shoot accurately. However, a 2.7 to 3" eye relief on a FoxPup along with a 1" shorter tube length works just fine for a no recoil youth .22 cal. rifle.
When teaching youngsters to shoot it’s much easier to tell them to just aim the dot in the center of the scope picture on what they want to hit.
To hit a rolling can or a running bunny or an elusive squirrel a youngster needs to learn the correct lead, squeeze and shoot tactics. Trying to teach young shooters in the initial beginning stage all about first plane focal, mill dot calculations, holdover and wing drift with ballistics dope is far too demanding for young shooter's minds. Fun with old fashion Plinking ability comes first!
Duplex Dot reticle for teaching youngsters to shoot is much better than a 4-bar crosshair Duplex or Post reticle.
Therefore, FoxPup Compact scopes are only made with a Duplex Dot reticle. So please don't call us and ask us to change it to something different.
We include WP-AB low rings pre-installed, and factory positioned to fit the Keystone's Chipmunk and Cricket 22 scope base. No scope base? You can buy a Crickett / Chipmunk scope base off the Keystone Firearms web site.
NOTE: We do not recommend our little Fox Pup scope for the Savage Rascal youth rifle due to it having an excessive forward scope mounting requirement that affects 3" eye relief.
We cannot ship any riflescopes out of the USA.

Our scopes are currently made in a contracted scope factory in my wife's hometown in China. However, as soon as we can get a duty-free import concession for all the component pieces, they will then be assembled in our Durant OK. location.
