I would go for the 6.5-20 sidewinder. In order to get good picture above 20x you need to pay over 1k.

I suggest that you learn about scopes before deciding whether to buy Second or First Focal Plane scopes. The topic has already been discussed on this forum by people with a wide and extraordinary range of views, with many external links to factual reviews rather then mere assertions.

I'm with Lou !!! At any given scope line there is a point where magnification overtakes the lens and coatings quality . When you go really high in magnification in a less expensive scope , optical quality suffers badly !!! It sucks but that's the way it is

The world record long distance air gun shot was done using a Hawke Sidewinder. 5 rounds put on a 32" target at 1065 yards.

Hey guys. I have a Hakwe sidewinder tactical 8.5-25×42 and the magnification at 25 is as crystal clear as 8.5. Its really a good scope.

As FastEddie wrote, great 'scope, I bought two. Faultless. Smooth and light rotating parts, a real pleasure to use. Unlike two Falcons that I tried, mentioned by the OP, the rotating parts were so very stiff, the focus NEEDED a huge sidewheel, for leverage but mostly... I could not get used to the FFP
