What mid-priced scope for Hatsan Jet pistol?

I used a super cheap red dot mounted on a dovetail to picatinny adapter. In my use, the red dot is best as I do not need magnification. I have a Burris red dot, slightly higher end, that works great on my Ruger 10/22. I may try it on my Jet just for fun!

Thanks! Is that a laser, scope or Halo, or all 3 in one (i've seen). Does it add much weight?

I should have asked if you are looking to shoot the Jet as a pistol, in which case long eye relief is essential and either a specialized scope or pretty much any red dot will do, or if you are shooting the Jet as a carbine, in which case conventional rifle scopes are also in the cards! My red dot was $25 with shipping from Amazon - it holds zero well as long as you stick to a single reticle but an offset creeps in if you select new reticles after sighting in. I forget the make but it is TOTALLY generic and my guess is just a LED projector onto a screen. If you PM me I will send you the info.
FWIW I have the ever-popular bug-buster scope on one and the super cheap red dot on the other.

I decided to have mine just be a carbine. I put on a inexpensive Winchester 2-7x32AO on it and can basically only have one hole in a target at ten yards no matter how many shots I put in to it. That's my indoor shooting distance.

For the life of me I couldn't get enough up out of the scope, at ten yards POI was one inch below the target. I folded up some electrical tape and put it between the rear mount and the scope, tightened it all up and had to adjust down a little. I didn't like the up adjustment being maxed out anyway. I don't know if this was the right way but it works for now.

I've seen dovetail to weaver adapters that have 20MOA tilt built in. Perhaps this may be an option for you? This is a ages old issue for bullpups and scopes - they often have huge bore to scope centerline spacing compared to a more conventional form factor rifle.

I wouldn't overscope it, by using a simple 3-9x40 or something, or a 4x32.
Get a bugbuster, that makes it a perfect combination, without being top heavy.

The Riton MPRD is a really nice budget red dot. Two versions: Early-adjustable brightness. MPRD II- auto adjust.
I have one of each and can recommend both.

Follow up - the Burris is rock solid on my .22, and is perfect in my "inside 20 yards" use. The cheapie red dot I got from Amazon is worthless though. The POI shifts from time to time and switching between "reticles" causes a major POI shift. I recommend that you stick with the Burris or, if you want magnification, get a Bugbuster.

Hawke 2-7x32 AO, mil dot. The stadia are thick enough for hunting but not so thick that a small target is obscured.
