what are you doing with it and how are you using it .. if its stocked out on a bipod and using it like a rifle might as well put a hawk sidewinder on it lol ... used as a pistol, speaking for myself, theres just physical limitations to what i can do that no amount of throwing money at it is gonna overcome .. whats it doing 800ish in 177? .. my bandit hits 850 and all rested and propped up with a rifle scope on it will do 2" out to 60 realistically .. could it do more, couldnt tell ya .. its a pistol and really has inherent limitation .. that said i think any decent pistol scope at 7X will make ot very effective to 50 so either go midrange and get a utg or spend more on a leupold or something .. results are going to be limited by you and the gun .. not the optic as long as its not low end .. wouldnt do low end in a pistol long eye relief scope ..

Well I finally ended up with a Discovery VT-3 3-12x4 rifle scope on mine. It is not illuminated and I doubt the turrets are steel probly brass or brass sleeved like most. Has a nice reticle and fairly clear glass. Got the second focal plain as the FFP scopes usually have a problem with the reticle getting way to thin at lower powers. I feel it is an acceptable scope for the gun.

Have a Veyron 3x12x44 on my 2240 that is a bit nicer scope in most every way. Once again second focal plain cuz the ffp scope reticle was so thin it was useless to me at under 6 or 8 power.

Just going through a warranty issue with a really nice USO scope that was better than either of these. It is a TS-12X MHR Nice reticle although it is a FFP so the reticle does get a bit thin at under 6 power. Better glass and better turrets than either of the others. Shop around for a better price

All of these are compact rifle scopes none of them are illuminated and I am unsure of the turret material on any of them.

Sounds like you've settled on a rifle scope to mount to your pistol. Many do shoot pistols this way. It's never been something I was comfortable with.

I really like the Holosun red dot on mine. Light, handy and works with night vision:
