Scope for a powerful springer !

[Shadow]

I want to mount a scope to my springer here is what Im thinking about : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hawke-Sport-HD-3-9X40-HK3008/dp/B004H0QEMC
any experiences or advices would be very nice !!!

Any suggestions ? :/

That's the same one I have on my HW90 or you can use the Hawke Sport HD 2x7x32.

Finally got an answer .
Is it a good scope ? And most important, does it Withstand the powerful recoil of a springer without any problems ?!
Thank you for taking your time

I have bought that exact scope for my RWS 54....did not hold up. It works fine on my other springers though. I have bought several Hawkes and Leapers. I prefer the leapers personally. They seem to be nicer for the money in the lower price ranges.

What happened to the scope after using it on the RWS 54 ?
which leapers scope would be an alternative ?

I have one each on my Diana 48 and 350 and both have held up fine after thousands of shots. The new Vantage line from Hawke (which will replace the HD line) is supposedly of single tube construction and according to them more robust. Also, while I'm not a huge fan of IR scopes, the Hawke IR's have an etched reticle. Reticle failures on spring guns are common, so this is a worthwhile feature IMO. Now if you are willing to pony up more cash, the Leupolds and Vortex scopes, to name a few, are a step up.

So far so good.

Hm , all in all it appears to be decent for the price !? I guess for that money you can't really get something better. Right ?

Any Hawke is good enough for a springer. I have Diana 460 Magnum, the gun recoils like a 30-06 springfield, no problem so far. I have had the gun for more than 8 years with a Hawke sport 3-9 x40, I have no problems with the scope being on that gun, It has been shooting lights out at 50 yards.

Love my springers, and they all have Hawke scopes on them.

I hope this helps.
