Snowpeak Snowpeak M16

[Josh7388]

I just ordered a snowpeak M16 in .22. Really excited to get it and start shooting.

I am looking for suggestions on a scope to put on it. Main purpose will be small game game hunting and some target shooting. I don't want to spend a bunch on money on a scope but would like something decent.

What would everyone recommend?

I have a couple BSA sweet 22 scopes that are good quality for the price.

The 4-12x40 AO model would fit this gun nicely. Around 75 bucks.

Step up to Athlon neos or talos for $150+/- for their base models that are no frills side focus scopes. I have a neos 4-12x40 and 6-18x44 and they're both very nice for the price.

Josh, congratulations! I would look into Discovery scopes, Vector Veyron, WestHunter.....these 3 are affordable and punch above their asking prices and come in FFP, SFP and fixed magnifications. Pay a little more then look into Athlon and Vortex, these have budget, mid tier and higher end scopes.

I agree with @Ranchibi the vortex crossfire II I have is a nice clear scope for under 200. I've had a couple of hawke and AIM scopes and I didn't like them.

I’ve got this one on my m16 and really like it..

Also mine shoots .217 23grain H&N slugs very well… like 1.5” spinners at 100yds well!

Congrats on the gun.
I like the Discovery and Vector scopes. UTG scopes work as well

Another vote for the Discovery scopes. Clarity is very good on their ED models. Even the others are okay for under $200 bucks. I've had several for air guns and liked them. The best for my eyes has been the Discovery ED 3-15x50. Exceptional scope for around $355. Wes at Airgunarcheryfunstore carries them and is a great guy to deal with. 20PPC

The least expensive scope I have and like is a Hawke Vantage 2-7. 7X is not very good for target shooting, however. The 3-9 is still reasonable in price but I like 24X for target work. I like my Vector Veyron 6-24X SFP. About $200 delivered from Krale. I also paid about the same for my Athlon Talos 6-24X (also SFP) but I caught it on a good sale. The Athlon is bigger and heavier but the glass is, I think, a little better. But I like the reticle of the Veyron more.

I kinda liked the m16 myself ( not the bottle one)

Being not a springer the sky's the limit on a scope to use ..

Personally for air gun something in mildot for hold over/under then AO . Maybe 4x16 min ..

I also found brands with no questions asked lifetime warranty and quick satisfaction it f needed is a saver ... Like athlons and being in the Kansas city area .

Good luck.
