Scope help for Xisico B-28 .22 cal...please.

[noisemedia]

Hey guys,
Im sorry if this question has been asked to death around here, but I'm looking for input on buying a scope for my new Xisico .22 cal  B-28. Currently I'm using a Barska 3-12/40 AO scope that I took off my CFX. It works perfectly on the CFX but on the B-28 Ive had to rezero every few minutes. Of course the recoil varies greatly between the two and I suppose the Barska cant handle it. Its a decent scope and works well for my purposes (pigeons, etc), but just wont stay on point.
Ok so here's where I'm at. Ive narrowed it down to two somewhat lower priced scopes from pyramid air:

A Leapers 3-9/50 AO: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Leapers_5th_Gen_3_9x50_AO_Mil_Dot_Rifle_Scope_with_R_G_Reticle_1_Tube/658

and a Centerpoint 3-9/50 AO: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/CenterPoint_Adventure_Class_3_9x50AO_Rifle_Scope_Red_Green_Ill_Reticle_1_Tube/1657

Can either one of these handle recoil better than the other?

I know I could get alot more from a higher priced scope but this is where Im at. So far Ive only used the previously mentioned Barska, a BSA 2-7/32 thats on my RWS 34P, and another low end BSA. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

if you want to "really" handle the recoil on the b-28 you're gonna have to spend a few more bucks.  around $140 plus some "good" mounts for about $18.  the b-28 has about the same recoil as the rws-350 magnum and can reap havic on a cheap scope.  i suggest the hawke airmax series with some hawke mounts.  not because i sell them but beause they are proven to work on magnum springers.  others here may have other suggestions that will work also but i really do like the hawke products and that is why i became a hawke dealer.

Roger's right,...with a magnum powered rifle, you're going to need a sturdy scope like the Hawke scopes. They are really good 'glass' for the price. A step up from the Center-Point scopes,....and I'm a big fan of CP's too. It all depends on the condition of your rifle,...tuned or factory. For extra hold,...You'd  be well advised to invest in a UTG scope rail made for the Diana rifles. But before you pick one out, put a set of rings on the factory rail for now. Place a 1" dowel in them where it sticks out over the barrel and check for any "barrel droop" and barrel alignment. I use a telescopic aluminum paint roller handle. Then you'll know if you need either the "zero" compensating rail,...or the one with droop compensation. The UTG's will fit right on top of the factory rail so if you prefer a low set scope, low rings are a must. This rail will give you a very sturdy foundation to work from before you set some rings and glass to the rifle!!!!! Best of Luck, tjk

I have the leapers on my CFX and it is soon to be transplanted to the 350. I love the scope, on the CFX on a calm day I can make one dime sized hole @ 50yds. with about 10 shots if I do my job. I can't speak yet for holding up on the 350 but it did just fine on the CFX before I tuned it and it was much harsher than my 350 is out of the box. The B-28 may be a different story though. I have found the biggest issue with springers to be mounts. Either go with the weaver adapter and ring setup that tjk mentioned or I have heard good things about the new RWS lock down mount. Every time I have thought that that a scope wasn't holding zero on a springer it ended up being the mount. Remember that on a rifle with barrel droop if the scope or mount moves as little as .010" you have moved the poi considerably at 25yds.
