I decided to advantage of this sale: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1828970 and buy a Diana 34 in .177 cal. It comes with sights, but when I get to the point of mounting a scope on it, what would the good people here recommend? I have been looking at Hawke Airmax and Hawke Vantage scopes (2-7 variable mag) and tried to find a Wiehrauch or other "springer rated" scope. I have a cheap Centerpoint 4x32 scope that came with a cheap Crosman NP-4 rifle, so I may use that for a bit, but being a packaged scope, it isn't very good.
I understand that springers have a reputation for wrecking scopes, and I don't want to dump a ton of money into a "fun plinker."
Thank you to everyone in advance for your advice.
