So I swapped some optics around on a couple rifles in the beginning of the week, much like my airgun journey it took a while to figure out what I liked as far as optics goes.

I like FFP, clean reticles, and light, I also want my scopes to be pretty uniform, all similar if not the same reticles.... I am a hold over guy not a clicker my shooting is 0-100 and its pretty easy to hold over at these ranges.... This all screams expensive but there are budget scopes out there that perform well too!

I am looking at the Vector lineup and thats as far as I have made it so far,

Id like a 4-16 on my Uragan and on my Marauder , I am also contemplating 3-18 on the uragan as it does sling slugs well and the extra mag out to 100 or a bit beyond would be nice.

On my Taipan I would like a 1-10 or 3-12 with a pretty low focus, 10 yards ish

I have used IR on a buddies blackhound and really liked it, it is not a requirement though

All suggestions welcome

I have a Westhunter 4-16 SFP and it’s not a bad scope. Recently I bought a little 3-12 FFP. Took it out of the box and knew I bought a 9-12 because the reticle wasn’t usable under 8x. I placed it back in the box and sold it to a guy on here. When he received it he said the windage didn’t work. I told him to just drop it in the nearest garbage can and I refunded his money. My SPF 4-16 has very fine with smallish hold over points. For my eyes and me not being glued on max magnification, their reticle wouldn’t work for me in FFP.

Westhunter, Vector, Discovery, US Optics - all the same scope with different cosmetics. I've been very happy with the Vector Veyron FFP in 3-12 and 4-16. Can't speak for other models.

I noticed that vector didn't have the illuminated reticle in the 3-12 anymore that I could find, I liked my old 3-12 but after using an IR i really want one on all my scopes.

I have 2 westhunter 4-16x44 30mm 2nd FP scopes and they're pretty good for the 100 bucks I spent on each.

How about Sniper brand scopes? I have a 3-9x32 AO I bought 8 years ago and I won't part with it. Probably has 100 squirrels on its roster. They don't make that model anymore, or the 4-16x44 AO which is on my 25 jumbo.
I also have Sniper scopes in 4-16x50, 3-9x40, and a 4x32 all AO and IR, and they're very nice scopes for the money.

Also distributed by Texas precision optics and have USA based support. Never needed to call them either.

Athlon Helos G2/HG2 4-20's and the HG2 DMR 2-12 on the Taipan., both in mil!

For holdovers I love the APRS1 mil reticle! I seem to gravitate to my Helos G2 6-24 with APRS1 mil reticle more than most of my other scopes.

These scopes offer so much more than the cheaper scopes I used to use that I've sold most of them. I suppose then that these HG2's have defaulted to my minimum as of late.

ok, less cost and still has good optics,just looked through them Burris Fullfield 2 4.5-14,13" long and can be had sometimes for around $140.
Barra 4-12 11 5/8"long about $120....I think I like the Burris better and I have used it on a springer with no problems,btw the Barra has lighted IR.
I wished I knew how the West Hunter compared to the scopes I mentioned,all are about the same price.
The Discovery scopes can be had with good optics,but as I said are heavier.
