I am looking for similar goals for a scope and yes it is not easy. I am waiting for Joe Rhea to post his review of the new Vector Optics Continental 34mm 5-30x56FFP scope. It is true there are not many scopes really designed for air rifles as ideally the parallax should go down to 10 yards yet have high magnification since the goal is to get hole in hole when also using it for target shooting along with FFP for me is my preference. I am hopeful that the new 34mm Continental will fit that as it has Schott glass, zero stop, lifetime warranty, illuminated and a nice recticle. The only other scopes I found that do that were $1500 and higher or I sacrifice and go with a lower magnification or higher parallax, so I am holding out to see how he reviews it as he does not BS. I am hopeful but only time will tell; I heard he should be posting it in a week or two on his YouTube channel, aka Cyclops... If it does not pan out another scope that is good but lower magnification is the Bushnell Match Pro which is also on my list of scopes sold only directly from Bushnell.
I wouldn't pay $800 for it. I bought a lot of Vector scopes direct from one of the importers before they went through distrution and that markup $800 is crazy insane on that one.
I am waiting for the review from Joe to be sure, but this is a new scope and I already know one person with the scope and he has had no issues and it is a well made scope. I believe this is a much better scope than the current Vortex scopes as those I have heard have cut corners on the internals. This is Vector Optics new high end model and not their lower price scopes. This only came out a couple of months ago and not the same as their other scopes. They do make some good inexpensive scopes but this is a FFP with much better glass, etc.
