Im looking for two scopes that will last. One is for a RWS .17 and the other is for a NP2 trail in .22. Id like them to be Adjustable Objective, 3-9x, and 40mm at least. Older eyes need more light. They need to be durable, I hate buying things twice. Mostly for target and the .22 for some lite hunting. I dont mind paying for quality, but not overpaying.
There is too much conflicting information to believe what I read, so Id to hear from those who actually use them.
Thank you for your suggestions

I have a Bushnell AR223 3-12X44 side focus on my NP2 Trail .22 for well over 10,000 shots with no problems. You can find them for $130 - $180, great scope for the money. I have a second warranty UTG SWAT coming Tuesday. I hope it is better than the first two. I'll let you know next week.

I like my Hawke scopes, but I REALLY like my Sun Air a Tac 4-16 X 50. You can also get it in a 6-24 and I wish I had. I've had it about three years with no issues no attributable to the gun or the shooter. It has a one inch tube. It's an end focus.
My most recent acquisition is a Leapers UTG Accushot 4-16 X 44. I like it really well so far. It does have a thirty mm tube but it comes with mounts for a Weaver rail. The side focus is a real plus. The thirty mm tube should give increased strength and rigidity.
