Cheap, "all purpose" short range scope?

(1/5) > >>

I'm probably asking for trouble with this...

Anyway I have several airguns, cheap stuff, so far no PCPs and no springers, and I shoot mostly open sights.  Right now the only scope I have is a Daisy 880 stock 4x15 lol.

Anyway I don't need anything fancy at all. Just would like something simple, reliable and easy to work with. I don't intend to use it on any springers. I will get scopes specifically suited if I get a springer.

Just something around the $50 or less range that's good for a maximum of likely 75 yards, and usually 50 or less. I don't need any super fancy features, just something I can move from my 1077, to my 362, to maybe my 1322/home made backpacker, when I want to shoot with a scope.  I guess I should add, everything I have will be 11mm dovetail like you find on a 1077 or Crosman Steel breech. I'd also prefer something that comes with mounting rings, so there's no worry about fit or compatibility and extra expense. Thanks.

Will your cheap airguns be able to shoot out to 75 yards?
Do you need a 10 yard parallax?

None currently would be likely too accurate at that range. Probably 50 is the limit for good accuracy, though I may get guns that can.

IDK what 10 yard paralax means?  I have to say I am a scope luddite. I have sighted in a scope exactly twice ever, and found it to be an annoying and tedious process, but doable.

IMO a cheap scope is the ultimate waste of money.

Sad but so true.  They're dimmer, more fragile, and less adjustable.  Reasonable optics cost a little more.  Great optics are a lot more.  Definitely a you get what you paid for situation.
