Hello everyone. I recently purchased a daisy powerline 880 to pass time with during this virus. I have plenty of other guns and air rifles. I'm using this little guy for plinking, and to take out some invasive brown anoles. It came with a small 4x15 daisy scope. I like the size. It keeps the rifle lightweight and small. I put it in a bench rest and tried to zero it, but it's not holding for me. Can anyone please give me options for a good low power scope. I'm looking for a 4x15 or a 4x20. Let me know how they worked for you, and what you would recommend. Thanks for any input given, and stay safe.
Good low power scope options

It would help if you mentioned your budget. Sorry to say that the scope will probably cost more than the airgun itself. My recommendation would be the SWFA Fixed 6X for around $300. Check out Cyclops Videos on YouTube for recommendations.

The scope would cost more than the gun but I would think a Leapers bug buster with AO. I would have suggested the Tasco 2.5-10x42 Mildot AO Target Varmint for only $27 and some change shipped from eBay but it's quality is iffy according to our scope guru the great Cyclops Joe Wayne Rhea here. I would try it for a Daisy 880 and there's a return guarantee if you don't like it. YO!

In that price range, just make sure you keep your expectations in check. You never know what you're gonna get. Here's another one from Joe...

I was thinking of that cheap $27 Tasco Target Varmint Mildot to put on my Daisy 853c 10 meter single stroke low power target rifle being price and shooting distance appropriate which currently has a Bushnell Elite 6500 Tactical 2.5-16x50 Mildot side focus that I want to switch over onto one of my HW100k bullpups. I had a SWFA 3-15x42 on my other Daisy 753 wooden stock version and even that is a bit overkill IMHO so I eventually changed to a $100.00 bug buster side focus. YO!

Ohhh I have a couple of those cheap scopes too. They're pretty darn good for the money but IIRC they don't focus down to 10 yards. YO!

I have 2 years on one of those TwoD/CVlife 6-24x50 scopes on a Crosman NP that is a scope killer. So far it holds zero nearly perfect other than a little temperature drift at the extremes. My AO will focus clearly down to 12 yards at full magnification and it looks clear at 10 yards if I drop the magnification to 10X. The actual mag is a little lower than indicated, as the 18X indicated is only 16X in the real world. I don't have a good 24X to compare it to, but 19X at full power is probably close. glass is as clear as any sub $200 scope. I would buy another if weight wasn't an issue. It weighs as much as every other 24X scope.
CVlife does not give a sun shade and that is why they sell for $5 less than TwoD.
