Scope Recommendations/Advice?

[BimmerBob]

Hi all,

I have a couple of fairly nice pellet rifles that I very rarely shoot and have been considering putting on a scope which will increase my interest in them a little. One is a .22 cal Diana and the other is a .177 BSA, both are dovetailed for scopes but I have no idea what kind of scope will stand up to the spring guns.

Any suggestions or pointers would be most appreciated.

Cheers, Bob

Check out the Leapers TS models. They are made for the dual spring action. I think they make a very good mount too.

Thanks Camj, I will have a look at them for a start.

I seem to recall that most of the Bushnell scopes can take the recoil from a springer. Look at this site, lots of good information.

Any of the Bushnell Elite series scopes are awesome on springers. Usually a few for good prices in the EE at any one time too.

Thanks for the tips guys, much appreciated. I noticed a Leapers one in 3x9 but can't seem to find a supplier with the one I saw on the Leapers site. I am still looking, nice to know the Bushnells are a good option too...

Cheers, Bob
