I know air rifle scopes have to specially made to handle the recoil sequence. So I figured I would tap into your collective input to figure out a better scope for my R1.
I currently have a Bushnell 4-12x40AO adjustable that seems to be ok and does a reasonable job but I would like more clarity and crisp optics. The scope list for about $100 so you can't expect it to be as good as he Leupolds I am used to.
Nearly all of my centerfires have Leupold VX3, 40mm AO and either 4.5x14 to 6.5x20.
Looking at Leupold's web site I see they have ones they call "EFR" which seem to be made for air rifles. They are offering the following:
VX-2 3-9x33mm EFR ($500)
VX-3 6.5-20x40mm EFR ($939)
Are their other Brands and Scopes I should consider?
I am very open to alternatives, I would buy the Leupold just because it is easy and I know what I am getting.
