I have a nitro piston break barrel 177 cal. I think its time for a new scope. I have had 3 scopes on this gun and holding zero becomes an issue ater a while with all 3. Latest scope is a UTG Leapers 4x16x40. what's your input for a $250 max scope. looking in the 3x9x32 area

The Hawke line of air rifle scopes is superb for the money. I have them on my air rifle and my .22 LR.
 
Can someone provide some additional information about what is a suitable (rugged) scope for a GAMO .22 cal Magnum springer rifle. I have two Hawke scopes on other non-air rifles that I'm very pleased with. However, as far as my research shows, there are no scopes that the manufacturer states as being specific for a high power springer air rifle.
 
I emailed Luepold asking if they make a scope that would be rated for a high velocity.177 Springer air rifle. I was surprised when I got the reply:
All Leupold scopes are certified to work with air rifles. Below are recommendations.

100-182666 VX-3HD 6.5-20x40mm (1 inch) EFR CDS-T Diamond
100-182502 VX-3HD 6.5-20x40mm (1 inch) EFR CDS-T Fine Duplex
100-175075 VX-Freedom 3-9x33 (1 inch) EFR Airgun Fine Duplex
These are out of the OP budget stated but may be able to find a good used one.
I used Luepold on a previous Springer that was high velocity and never had an issue with a wandering zero.
Put it on the one I have now so I guess time will be the best judge.

The Hawke line of scopes are used on the most powerful springer Air Arms makes... I think you may be trying to fix something that isn't broken.
