Hello, all. How are you?
I have a Gamo Big Cat 1200. My first spring-piston. What is a reasonably priced (< $100) scope? I am looking for a variable power (3-9), Mil-Dot with fine reticules, adjustable turrets, and that will leave no doubt about handling a springer recoil. I fear that the illuminated ones would be too thick especially with an increase in the setting. I could be wrong. I have heard some good things about Leapers. What would you buy in that price range? Also, a good mount (1 piece; low to mid height)? I hate not being able to put my hands on something before buying online. I know you get what you pay for but, there has to be a solid performer at $80-100.
I appreciate you advice. I am getting sensory overload (brands, models, prices) with all the options out there. I ask you because I am sure you all have tried just about everything and your experience will save me wasting my money and being frustrated. LOL.
Thank you.
Stephen
