Watched some of Joe Raes Cyclops YT vids on scopes and he recommended Hawk Vantage as a winner cheap scope. Was looking for a fixed 4 power with adj. objective for a 12 ft. pound springer and found one for just under a hundred with a mail in rebate on Optics Planet. Looks like all the Vantage scopes had the rebate going on. Another deal I found a couple of days ago was on the RWS springer droop mount with built in rings for 30mm scopes, $10 on close out. If memory serves the .22 was north of $30 so thats a serious discount if ya want one of those. I believe it was at Umarex.
EDIT: RWS LOCK DOWN AIR RIFLE SCOPE MOUNT 30 MM | Umarex USA $10 30mm mount, the 1 inch is $35.
