The Sightrons are great. Those Sightrons are S1 3x9 rimfire and S1 1.75-5. Both are good on springers. Unfortunately they don't have mildots or theyd be my ultimate air rifle scope. Btw I never use more than than 12x on airguns. Only on >300 yard powder burners.I see you like those Sightrons too. One day I'll try a SIII..Well I did have "one" a long time ago,
it was a fixed 20X SIII mill hash reticle. Problem was there was issues with these scopes, mine wouldn't clearly focus at 40 yards. They were phased out shortly after. Anyway, I sent it back in and requested to swap it for a SII bigsky 6-24X42 silhouette with a dot reticle, it was great scope, but later I wanted a reticle with hold over marks, so I sold it like an idiot..lol. I wish they still made those with a hold over reticle.
The fixed power SIII was offered in 10X or 20X and there may still be some out there somewhere, I think the 10X's were OK for the most part. My 20X could've possibly been fixed, donno, I just decided to swap it out.
I still have a SII bigsky 4-16X42 milldot that I'm planning on putting on a 98 if that ever happens.
As far as the scope rings go, I use stop pins on all my mounts, rings or rails. The sportsmatch rings are nice, I've had a few sets. But currently use burris signature zee rings with the plastic inserts.
They hold great and do not mark up the scope tube.
Burris makes good rings. Especially the signature zee series. I've used them on powder burners never found them in airgun dovetails with a recoil pin. I refuse to put pic rails on my Weihrauchs. I just don't like the look.
