FX Fx Impact mk4 .25

Hawke, Athlon, Element. anything with 16+ power should work. The more you spend the better the glass basically. I have a Nexus on my M3, probably too good for an air rifle. $$$$

I used Trac toric 5-24-50, is made in Japan a little pricey but is good quality,
Check it out, I got that one on my crown
and 4-30-56 on my Impact. Good luck

Since you are in WV, I imagine you’ll be hunting squirrels in the timber and not laying on your belly in a field. My favorite scope right now on one of my M3 squirrel guns is a 4-20 Athlon Heras. I have a Night Force on another M3 but that gun generally doesn’t see that type of hunting. It’s a sniper style hunting gun. My .22 M3 has been flip flopping between an Element 6-24, a Sightron and a Trijicon for a couple years. I’ve finally had enough and a Heras 4-20 will be here tomorrow for it. The Heras is light, good enough glass that a 1” tube is just fine and they track great. I have clicked the living crap out of the one on my .25 slugger shooting out to 200 yards and it’s been great. The reticle is also clearly visible in the woods. The Element has been a good scope but the eye box gets on my nerves when the heat is turned up in hunting situations. It’s also heavy.

That’s gonna come down to a lot of things. Primary distance you’re shooting and budget.
One of mine has a Strike Eagle and the other sports a Zeiss.

Thanks
Thank you I appreciate the info. How would you say the Athlone hellos would compare to a vortex strike eagle

Ok thanks but on another note what about an extended bottom rail for bottle protection and accessories or sling

This is my 2nd Impact The first was a gen1. I never added all the extras, never felt the need to, I guess if your going to shoot bench a lot its good to add the extra weight. Lots of Impacts with all the bells and whistles here I'm sure can help you with that.

I like to keep the pork off my guns as much as possible for hunting so I use the Saber Tactical compact rail even on my 480cc bottle guns. When I head to the woods I sometimes just switch to their universal rail. First pic is compact rail with 480 bottle. Second pic is the universal rail.

Not showing off. But these trinkets aren’t cheap so a picture is worth a thousand words. At least you can see them on a bottle gun before you commit.

If you go with a plump rail for more bottle protection and a nice flat surface to rest the gun on stuff. Just install a swivel stud.
