I´ve confirm that the 2 Bushnell Legend ( Philipinnes ) that I put in a 350 and a 45 T01 .177 are NOT able to keep the "zero".
I talked with Straightshooters and they would change them by 2 Leupolds EFR 3-9 x 33 ( they are more expensive ).
I´ve been watching the Leapers airgun scopes by internet. They are a bit heavy.
Question for the experts: Would the Leupold EFR be a better option than a Leapers for a strong springer ?. At this point I don´t care about brightness, magnification, etc: JUST a scope capable to keep its zero !!
I got a legend 5x15x40 mil dot and it holds its zero plus its adjustable from 10 yards to infinity. I would recomend that one. Its the most inexpensive one listed at the straightshooters website under the heavy recoil category. I got it for $147 and gander mountain.
I have been using my Premier Reticles' Modified Mil-Dot Leupold Vari X 3-9x33 EFR compact with Target-style turrets, for seven-eight years without a single change in zero. It is tough as nails, bright, lightweight and so compact that it fits on my D25, with Leupold QRW High (or extra High) 1" rings, just fine. With a ScopeLevel on it, even 50-yard shooting is possible, provided that one knows how to buck even the slightest breeze.
