I'm setting up a Hatsan Proxima .177 for a Family/Guess plinking rifle. What is the hands down best buy for $150-$200
I would like to shoot myself and want to try a first focal point.
I have seen the Hatsan First Focal but have read bad reviews of them failing.

Do not buy a Hatsan scope! Never!
For $200 you will only get a crappy FFP scope. Expand your budget of stick with SFP.
For the money, this is the best scope, best glass:

Others will recommend Hawke or UTG.

Check out the Athlon Talos line. I've turned into something of an Athlon fanboy. Have 6 scopes and a bino. Quite pleased with all but one, and it's ok.

I have two of the Talos 6-24 scopes in MIL, and will probably get a third. The MOA version is $200, the MIL is $220. Other models in the Talos line are less expensive.
[It's more than your budget, but I do not recommend the Talos BTR, as it has very mushy turrets and the reticle is pretty thick. Might as well step up to the Argos BTR.]
Edit, oops. Missed the FFP requirement. Not sure what's out there in FFP for $200.

While I have not tried a FFP, I am happy with Discovery scopes and Wesbob at AirgunArcheryFun does offer one.
It is a compact 3-12x44 side focus for $186.51

I know one thing, after two days of looking and trying to snipe on eBay, your eyes get blurry
