For JimNM
I'm not worried about tube
not worried about power or objective
...you know what a normal scope is right they've bbeen around for some time...its easy to pick out wthat would be considered a shorter scope....short as I can get...I don't imagine there being very many options in the shorter size scope....short and light weight are more important...then I would make my decision what I could live with

The VX-Freedom 3-9x33 EFR is shipping from Optics Planet in a few weeks. Probably tough to beat for a small, lightweight air rifle scope.

Laramie, take a look at the Nikon Prostaff Target 3-9x40 EFR with AO. Excellent scope for the money. I posted my opinions on this scope based on my comparison between this Nikon, a Hawke, and a Leupold. Definition, clarity, and resolution are better than the Hawke, and close to the Leupold. Surprisingly, they sell for just under $200! Weight is under a pound, and length is about 12”. Dont waste your money on a Bugbuster. In my opinion, it doesn’t begin to compare to the Nikon. I bought one, took one look through it and sent it back to PA for a refund. .

Is the Nikon Prostff Target EFT with AO comparable to the Prostaff Rimfire II? They are practically giving those away in a sale currently (at $110 and $90 respectively for the 4-12 and 3-9). I prefer mil/mil and ffp scopes myself, so just wondering if this would be interesting for the this topic.

Thanks guys...I'm aware of these nikons...I've owned and have numerous models on powder guns...and your right...for the money nothing beats a Nikon...in my opinion....and I'm sure the bug buster is not even in the same universe as a Nikon.....I have a utg on a brocock and its not too bad...this new scope is going on a hatsan and its just going to be a 50 yard gun...my new squirrel killer...I know scopes make alot of guns...and you don't buy a 1200 gun and put a 100 scope on it...at least I wouldn't...but this guns not 1200 and its gonna be for short range...so I just figure a lesser scope would do the trick...but if the Nikon are on sale then ill prolly just go that route
