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.

What's your Budget?

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.  

THE GUNS:
     â€¢ Cometa Fusion Star (Gene tuned) 12/10/09
     â€¢ Cometa Fenix RWS 94 2/8/10
     â€¢ RWS Diana 48 .177 1/8/10 [TRADE for RWS 350]
     â€¢ Walther Force 1000 .177 11/11/09
     â€¢ TF89 .22 10/26/09 (Gene tuned 1/6/10)
     â€¢ TF89 .177 (Gene tuned) 9/6/09
     â€¢ Remington Vantage 1200 .177 8/22/09 (Gene tuned 1/6/10)
     â€¢ Daisy 953 (pneumatic) 8/02/08
     â€¢ Gamo Big Cat 2/5/10 (broken...free...maybe gas piston?!)

THE SCOPES:  
     â€¢ Sightron SII 4-16x42 AO  
     â€¢ Leupold VX-II 3-9x33 Ultralight EFR AO
     â€¢ Bushnell Trophy 6-18x42 AO  
     â€¢ Swift 686 High Recoil 6.5-20x44 AO  
     â€¢ Hawke Air Max 4-12x40 AO  
     â€¢ Bushnell Banner 6-18x50 AO

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:)
