I'd go with the Leapers.  Most of my scopes are Leapers and I've never had a problem with any of em....

And I'd go with anything BUT a Leapers, I've had 6 and all had problems.  Not much help, huh?  Otherwise, I'd pick the lightest scope I could find for one of those rifles.  So of the other two, I guess I'd pick the Hawke, although I wasn't terribly impressed with the optics of the Hawke I had.  Good luck.

I'd have to say run from the Leapers and have a skeg at the Tech Force 3-12x44 A/O from Adventures in Airguns.

I vote Hawke Airmax -- but make it the 4-12x40AO

That's what I have on the 460.  
Totally dependable after > 1,000 rnds

Ditto that Hawke 4x12x40AO.Hold's zero with the big kickers.

I was leaning towards the hawk but i haven't seen anything on how their built , leapers has diagrams on their site and i've read a few other tests and they've had rave reviews , the hawk i haven't seen anything.
