Scope question for Springers

Before you get the Centerpoint, check out this new Hawke scope.

https://us.hawkeoptics.com/airmax-30-sf-compact-4-16x44-amx-ir.html

This will be my next scope for sure.

You put the scope on yer gun and shoot it 1000 rounds. Springer rated scope failures happen all to often. I had six scope destroyed by my Diana 45 and 52 rifles. Included were UTG, Hawke, and Falcon scopes all damaged promptly after the install on my springers. Picked up on a Diana Bullseye mount and had no further failures even after a thousand rounds plus. Some complain about slop in the scope but I found none in either of the units I purchased. If one does get one with said play there is a fix for it. Included in the links is my post with pics of my groups with the mount installed and a couple more with droop compensation but without the recoil dampening feature. I highly recommend the Bullseye mount if you want to help keep yer scopes in good werqing condition.

I have the RWS lockdown on it now. And I don’t want to invest in another $400 scope. I have a Hawke on a Diana 34 and on a PCP. Also have an AIMS waiting to be mounted on my Avenger if it ever gets here. Plus a Centerpoint on an Akela. I’ll try the Centerpoint on the RWS 34 and see how it goes. It does have a lifetime warranty.

Humner57. Best $50 you can spend. This cheap cvlife mounted is Rws lockdown rings on scope eating Rws 34 .177. more then 5 tins of jsb 8.4 down range. Zero on 16x and use holdover. They are sold under different names. Not bad tracking. Joe Rhea gave it a shout-out for a cheap scope.

The Hawke Airmax is a great scope.

I have one of the new Hawke Airmax compacts on a TX200. Love it. Also have 4 other traditional 6-24x50 Airmax on other springers that have held up for tens of thousands of rounds.

BE SURE to keep the original Hawke scope receipt someplace safe. Otherwise NO WARRANTY!

SAME GOES FOR OTHER UK ENGLAND BASED ENTREPRENEUR SCOPE COMPANIES HAWKE MTC OPTISAN AND SO ON BEWARE NO WARRANTIES OR NOT LIFETIME NOR TRANSFERABLE RECEIPT WITH REGISTRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE REQUIRED OR NO WARRANTY!!!

I had a Hawke Airmax 3-9X on my Sig ASP20 and it failed. Went with a UTG and it performed flawlessly. Scope is now on my RWS 34 with no problems. I also have a Hammers scope on my other RWS 34 with no problems.

Hummer57 mentioned the shout out Joe Rhea gave the cvlife scope. Joe gives very high marks to SWFA scopes, but I don't see where he mentions if they work on springers. I have one a FWB 300S, but that is largely a recoil free SSP. Any feedback on SWFA scopes are fit for, say, a HW 35E?

I Have the Leapers UTG Accushot built on the True Strength Platform on several springers and no fails. Scopes come with picatinny UTG mounts.

I’m following too. Looks like good advice so far. I have had good luck with the cheap centerpoint scopes for what it’s worth. They’re obviously not high end but it’s a sight picture with mildots and decent magnification. I’ve had them on CO2 guns mostly, only springer was my old accu before I slightly upgraded to a budget BSA scope. I’m going to get slammed for this comment but SOMETIMES I like the cheap ones because they don’t seem to have bad parallax issues and you can get a quick sight picture. 

Leapers UTG and Centerpoint share a common manufacturing plant in China.

Good news is that they both are relatively cheap and carry lifetime warranties.

SWFA scopes should no doubt be tough enough for springers and also carry a Lifetime Warranty.
