So, I've picked out and bought my riffle, now I need a scope. This is my budget. Here are some parameters to base the decision off of:

20-100yrds
Mostly plinking and small game
Mounting on a magnum Springer
Weight is not really that important since I'll not be carrying the riffle long distances.
I wear glasses (if that has any effect)

I was looking at the following:

Leapers/UTG
Bushnell
Hawker (stretch the budget a little but..,.,)

Please tell me why you would choose what you recommend.

Hawke VARMINT for that price point

I would say what Motor said, if you want to lean a little farther into the budget the Nite eye's are on sale nearly 100 dollars off the original price and they are GREAT glass.

I'm going to be ordering one myself I just found it out from the bargain gate and I really like the half mildot version a lot the way it is setup.

The upper priced Accushot Leapers scopes have been very good to me on Magnum Springers. If you can, purchase a "glass etched" reticle...just 1 less thing to worry about in it's life. Don't know what rifle you have purchased. I'd say that if you use Picatinny/Weaver mounting setup, or a good 1pc mount, you'll help keep your scope happy. Be aware of droop also. The closer you keep the scope to "optical center", I believe, the better off it'll all be.

I'll second the hawke varmint. I love mine. But if weight is not a concern, my centerpoint 4-16x44 is a great scope and at $54 from Walmart is tough to beat. Only downside I have found is the weight is a bit hefty.

I have no idea, probably shows the markup up other vendors have on this stuff. Seems like a pretty big operation.

I had the same issue initially after first finding it.

Its not listed in their lineup, you must search 'hawke' and you will find them.

Promise, they are there!
