My wife likes to shoot but her eyesight prevents her from effectively using the sights so I was looking for a optic to use a good short range scope halo sights will work something that she will not have problems looking through a big objective. It will be mounted on a 39A I am open for any thoughts. I am kinda hoping someone here has come across this at some point in time

A few options:
* You can put a red dot scope like the Bushnell Trophy on a 22. No magnification, you look through the scope at the target and align the crosshairs/dot.

* You could put a low magnification rimfire scope on the rifle, something like a 1.5-5X or 2-7X. It will work close up and farther away.
* You can put a reflex sight on the rifle. Similar to a scope, but simpler.

Is there a local gun shop where she can try a red dot or a scope - there is no substitute for a test drive 
Regarding an inexpensive red dot, I personally like the Vortex Sparc - I have this mounted on one of my own rifles and really like it.
Regarding an inexpensive scope - I had the opportunity to try the Leupold Mark AR 1.5-4 x 20mm - it was an eye opener among all scopes I have observed. It was like looking at a big screen HD tv for the first time.
