Specifically springers ruin scopes.....pneumatics are the same as powder burners
Airgun scopes are always a good place look for .22 optics, most decent airguns scopes are either SF, or AO, down to 10yds or less.
Again tho, if avoiding Chinese made, your options are more expensive and limited.
a note on the bugbusters.
The early ones were fantastic for the price, many of the more recent ones have had crooked crosshairs, and slightly poorer glass. I havent had one for a year or two tho, so that may have changed again for all i know.
I have one of the new models of the UTG Bugbuster. The glass is super clear and doesn't have much glare to it, but the crosshairs do seem to be canted just a tad. I doesn't bother me that it's canted, cause I don't level the scope housing to the rifle, but level the crosshairs. I get my rifle leveled in a vise, then tape a piece of paper with crosshairs on it to a wall with that's leveled. After that, I shine a flashlight down the scope to project the scope crosshairs on the paper, make adjustments till everything lines up. Came across a y-tube video a while back with that procedure and have been doing it ever since. Takes a little more time, but works great.
