Or look for one of these if the price not stupid. 1988 model but kicking myself for not buying all three in stock @ $98 from Chalmette Arms. Good Luck!

I have used the older Bushnell Trophy scopes on several Theoben Eliminators with no issues after thousands of shots.

I’ve had good luck over the years with Hammer scopes.. on several magnum springers! They always held up great!

My Leupold scopes have been on numerous magnum springers over a 30 year period with O issues and a lifetime warranty no matter who owns it !! They hold resale value because the warranty doesn't care who the owner is or how long they have had it.

I can strongly recommend any bush 4200 or 3200 series but they are priced high on the used market. 8mos back I bought a very cheap Tasco 2-7X32 AO (abt 65 bucks) and it worked so well I bought another. So far have used them on HW90, Hatsan 135 (!) and various gamos. They have a plain reticle but otherwise look identical to the Wulf and Hawk Vantage. AO is good to well under 10m. Optically they seem identical to Vantage and Wulf.

Thanks for the heads up on the Tasco. Considering it for my new low powered air rifle.

Like Rob mentioned, Warranty is an important factor when considering glass for a Springer. The double recoil on a Springer can and will destroy optics that are even rated for 50 BMG. I have 2 of the "better" UTG scopes (Lol) sitting on my bench that are wasted thanx to magnum springers. Those were bought many many years ago when I was rather stupid & ignorant. Now I am the type of person who belives you should spend as much money if not more on good glass as the weapon your putting it on. There are many manufactures who have unconditional, no questions asked, lifetime warranties. Those are the ones I would stick with. Cyclopes Joe, is an avid air rifle shooter who is also a member here. Has a great YT channel who reveiws scopes, many for air rifles. He's a great guy whom you can ask direct advice from if needed.

Thanks for the advice on warranties. Very important to me when choosing new scope for HW 30s.

upper end Hawke scopes work well with heavy recoil.
