I too am in the market for a springer rated scope. I haven't seen any replies mentioning Leupold. I have been looking at the VX Freedom 3-9×33 EFR. Leupold tells me "no problems" using any of their scopes on a spring piston gun. I had thought about Hawke but some of the things I've read about their warranty scared me off. I also ordered and tried a UTG from Pyramyd but returned it not liking the quality of it.

Just curious, what have you read about their warranty that scared you off?
I do not have any experience with other scope manufacturers, however my personal experience with Hawke's warranty has been great. I've used it twice with ease.
