Help me choose a scope please

[UlteriorModem]

I want to choose a scope to put on a Benjamin Titan which is a gas piston springer. It also has 11mm? dovetail slot. Might also try it on my Mayhem which has weaver rails on it so would need one sort of adaptor or another.

I rarely shoot past 30 yards.

Less than $200.00 please, around 150 would be great  Something in that range.

Thanks!

Do you have a specific power range in mind?  Whatever you go for you should get it with an adjustable objective (AO).  Personally I lean toward Hawke but many favor Leapers.
Some guys have gone with Hammers or BSA scopes, too.

You may also opt to put a dovetail to Weaver adapter on your airgun.

Honestly I don't know what specific power range I would like. I have a center point that has 3 to 9 x I usually use that at around 6x.

The dovetail to weaver adaptor is probably a good idea. I have one on a 1322 believe it or not for a dot sight I could always use that.

I 'thought' that Hawke were out of that price range.

I would opt for a Leapers UTG 4x16x50 AO. Should be around $120 and is built like a tank. I have had one on one of my springers now for about 6-7 yrs. Has held zero through thousands of rounds. I broke 2 springs in that gun and 1 nitro piston and the scope has never thought about losing zero. I’d grab a one piece mount as well.

Hawke Airmax 3-9x40 AO. I own a few, designed and built for spring piston air rifle use and currently $189.99 plus free shipping at Optics Planet although if you Google it, you may get lucky and find a lower price somewhere.

Because I went looking, Dvor has a scope sale going and on Page 2 is the Hawke Panorama 4-12x40 AO IR for $170 plus $9.95 shipping. Another scope I also own a couple of, air gun rated and basically the IR version of the Airmax. It's free to sign up and if you're even remotely interested, it's normally a $270 scope.

Tom you are really asking 2 questions: 1) What scope to buy
                                                         2) What mounting system to use

The answer to #1 is whatever you can afford.  I have heard nothing but GREAt things about these scopes. https://discoveryoptics.aliexpress.com/store/group/DISCOVERY-Riflescope/1923286_504091286.html

The answer to #2 is to get something like this: https://www.pyramydair.com/product/utg-new-gen-dovetail-to-picatinny-weaver-adapter-recoil-resistant-stop?a=7424

Then add medium height weaver base 2 piece scope rings.

I did a lot of research and price shopping on my last scope purchase.
I finally went with the Hammers 4-12X40AO Scope for High Power Magnum Spring Air Gun Rifle.


 It's clear, bright, Mil-Dot reticle. HAs a great track record here. I have it mounted on my QB58 (springer) and am VERY happy. Don't think of it as "cheap" I could imagine this scope selling for twice as much money.
   Now, for the price you could get two, or one of those and their 3x9 AO and a set of Weaver Mounts for your Mayhem and still be in your budget. That way you don't have to swap and re-zero each time your fancy to shoot changes.

You will not be disappointed

That looks remarkibly like the center point that came with my Mayhem! ? It does not have a mil dot reticle but I dont actually see that mentioned or illustrated in the Amazon ad?

Straight from Wing-Sun Trading which is the company that sells them:

Walmart has the 3-9x40 version  for $69.95 and free shipping iand for what it's worth, I have one mounted on a Hatsan 1000X springer. Didn't sit right with me to be recommendng a scope I didn't own so I bought one and haven't regretted it one bit. Nice clear glass, mildot reticle and works great to the 30 or so yards I shoot and like Hoosier said, you could buy 2, have plenty left over to decide what kind of mounts to get for the Mayhem and still have money left in your budget.

I only posted about the Hawkes up above to show you can buy one in the budget range you originally posted although I'm a very big fan of them and own something like 25 of them...lol

Scroll down to the "Product description". Calls it out there.
 I have several CP's and this Hammer's is easily above that quality.
