For what its worth, PCP gun don't have recoil issues so you can get away with a mid strength scope. Tasco works great on the marauders. I have a 10x on my .25 and a 24x on my .22. While the 10x stays pretty bright the 24x is a little dark at full power. But, if you look at Natchez shooters supply or cabelas you can find these scopes on sale for just over 50 bucks.

Update-
Checked the PA site this morning to see if my order was in process with the expectation that the scope I ordered was due in on January 10th. Now it seems the scope has been put on back order again! Next expected in stock on February 28th!
They have the leapers 4-16x accushot in stock so i could trade out the 6-24x? Or should I just wait?
Probably won't use until spring anyway but the wait is

This is the scope I picked up for my MROD .25 last summer:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aim-Sports-XPF-6-24x56-AOE-Dual-ILL-Rifle-Scope-w-Side-Wheels-JDLW62456G-/111254385421?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e747330d
I was a bit apprehensive due to the power vs price - thinking it would have really crappy optics at under $140 shipped to my door, but I figured I'd give it a shot (pun intended) as it already had the side focus, etc - figured I'd swap it out for a nice Hawke or ? once funds became a little more available ... At any rate, I still have it on the MROD, I really REALLY like it. It's actually a bit nicer than my $220 Hammers that I currently have on the 201s 9mm (likely will be replaced this spring as it has a really narrow field) and to be honest, what has REALLY sold me on it is that it holds adjustment like CRAZY (I have my nitrogen fill station at the barn which is about 1/4mi from my house, everytime I fill my guns they get bounced around on the golf cart, in the truck, etc to the barn and back - not to mention hunting, etc - and out of all of the scopes, this one has NEVER needed to be resighted, still does a ragged hole at 30yds and well under a dime at 60.)
I'm sure there are a million reasons people will "poo-poo" this scope because it's not a brand name (or at least a popular one) but it really DOES do an incredible job, like I said it holds and takes abuse quite well - the ONLY thing I'd possibly change is the reticle, mine has a weird version of the Mil-dot which is a bit difficult to work with sometimes when figuring drop out to 100yds (although the new models are now being advertised as having a standard Mil-dot so that's probably no longer an issue)
Just another thought - the price is right, the return policy with these guys is decent so if You're stuck scopeless for a bit why not give it a try? Here's what it looks like on the MROD:

BrewCity-
Looks like a great scope. I am really looking for something that has a glass etched reticle. I didn't see that listed as a feature on the company's website but I did see somewhere else.
Any idea if the reticle is etched?
Thanks

I don't know about the new design, mine is etched ... Try contacting the seller, I had a question regarding weight when I bought mine and they got back to me within an hour or so, definitely good people.
