I have been told you have a favorite scope. I need some help choosing one for Hunter FT.

I recently obtained a Chinese scope, a 3 X 12 FFP "Discovery" and was amazed at it's accuracy, build, finely crafted reticle and overall clarity.
This has been the best scope for the money I've found to date. I highly recommend this new brand.

I HAVE HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT Discovery. However recently I have read about 3 failing on piston guns. They fixed the problems but are supposed to be airgun rated.

Skip, the best that I have found in the reasonable price range is Bushnell Engage. Decent ranging, great glass, 1 MOA reticle and now a great warranty. The only thing that they lack is illumination. I did experience some fogging issues when I set it in the sun for a few hours, but I am not sure what the issue was. Anyway the warranty would take care of the problem, if needed. Held up on about 1000 shots on my springer so far. They run $350 or less on sale. I make a 3d printed comma for them.
I would recommend avoiding the Sightron STac series, even the new one. They just don't have the definition on the parallax knob (<2 deg for 40 to 55 yards). Also avoid the Gen 2 Vector Sentinel - very Blurry.

SKIP.......WHAT !! Say it ain’t so. You are switching from Open to Hunter. Hard to go back to using 16x after using a higher powered scope. Make sure whatever you get is marked at 16x or you have to shoot at the next lower marked power.
