What is a good .177 airgun scope for under $100?

Question

Mostly for hunting, has anyone heard of Leapers? Are they good for airguns?

Answer 1

I have used a Simmons "Pro Hunter" on my FWB 124D for the past 15 years..I would recommend this scope to anyone..Another you might want to look at is the Bushnell Sportsman...

Later:
To answer your second question, no i'm not familiar with the Leaper's scopes...I gave you the 2 air rifle scopes that I feel are the best value for around $100...Others that I am familiar with and you might want to take a look at. BSA has a wide selection and scopes priced as low as $10...Beeman has some very nice scopes, but, you pay the price...RWS makes a quality product...

I am very pleased with my Simmons, it's clear as a bell and works well for targets, paper or rabbit at 10 meters or 50..

Answer 2

Bound's hubby here:

A very good question. A point many people overlook, is that you can not use a scope designed for a rimfire or centerfire rifle on an airgun. By design, they are different, and the operation of an airgun can actually quickly destroy the scope. You need to use a scope specifically designed for air rifles, such as those marketed by the Airgun Depot, see link below!

Good luck!

Answer 3

You can get a Barska airgun scope for 25 at Gander Mountain (if you have it where you live) or any sporting goods store. The optics are ridiculously clear and bright. A 4 x 32 is usually a pretty good choice because you dont really need ridiculously high magnification for an airgun. Gamo makes shoddy gun scopes, so dont waste your money. They're usually blurry and dim.
