well i have a hawkes scope i picked up for my tech 89 good advice from mr gene i recently bought a rws 350p .22 cal synth stock and im looking for a nice scope to compliment my new baby i was looking at the bsa cats eye scope,and leupold scopes too any recommendations to scope the (black nebula)
-
Straight shooters have a good seletion,I'm going to get the hawke 3-9x40 a/o scope for my 350p.
-
My question is what are you using it for? Hunting? Plinking? etc?
For hunting an non-AO scope is easier to use. Mine has a 3 x 9 Leapers scope non-AO. The mount on the 350 is important as well.
-
hunting is the plan for this gun.

That will determine which scopes you can and can't buy. I've had good luck with Leapers and I find them to be budget friendly. I would say, buy the best scope your budget will allow and don't skimp on the mounts either.

See the scopes in my sig. Not a loser in the bunch and all are springer recoil rated. Range in price from $89 (Bushnell Banner) to about $320 (Leupold & Sightron).
I did not really get along with the BSA or Leapers scopes I had, though Leapers seems generally a popular choice for airgunners. BSA I found to be hazy at higher magnification -- almost grainy. I did not like the Leapers locking turrets. If looking less-expensive, I think the Bushnell Banner scopes can be a great deal! However, the scopes I have listed are pretty much a toss up at the short range I currently am shooting...Except the Swift can go to about 7 yards @ 6x which is great for short shooting.

pindog2000 i know that u have recoil how much i dont know ,i had a rws 48 with the utg mount & med rings now i have a 350m.22 with recoil also but not as bad as a new one and i have a airforce 4-16 x50 that i paid 145 for and its ao excellent hold on your sighting i wouldnt trade it but the utg mount is a must cause once thats thats on you will have no movement the diana rifles .my rws48 i had for 8 mounts and had the utg on with the airforce scope and i put about 1700 pellets through it and still had its hold ,what ever scope u get buy the utg mount they have them for 17.50 at pyramid also medium rings.i got my eyes on a bugbuster 6x32 but i do recomend the airforce 3-9x40 a.o 113.00 excellent scope just my 2 cents ....jorge

I have found the straight shooters list helpful when selecting a scope http://straightshooters.com/navagationpages/scopeselections.html And if possible interest in a Hawke i would recomend calling Bahwanna/ Roger:) Good luck there are alot of chioces out there:)
