The best All around Air rifle scope

[1handwill.gc]

For an optic that is more on the budget side and has side focus, IR, and is FFP, I really like the DiscoveryOpt HD 2-12x24SFIR. Fits perfect on my FX Panthera Hunter Compact perfectly and is under $200. The parallax can go all the way down to 10 yards. View attachment 544510

Beautiful set up

If I had to put only one scope on all of my airguns it would be Leupold 6.5-20x40 EFR

I concur with dgeesaman

Athlon Optics scopes have been excellent for me. I have 3 Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 5-24x50mm and 1 Athlon Argos BTR 10-40x56mm. My favorite though is a Optisan Mamba Pro 5-32x50 on my RAW TM1000.

I’m just looking for some people‘s opinion on what is the best all-around air rifle scope for as first focal plane scope just looking for some opinions before I spend some money.

That's like asking what's the best airgun....or best pizza, or best movie.

You need to narrow it down a little

Five years I purchased a Hawke Advantage 3 -12 X 50 scope via Pyramyd. Around the Holidays this past season, loe and behold, my wonderful scope broke beyond my ability to fix. I gave Pyramyd a call to see what I should do, they passed me off to Air Venturi who gave me the phone number for Hawke on this side of the pond. I was asking about getting it repaired. They gave me a repair order number and away it went. Now, just a month later, a brand new Hawke scope lands at my door-step, no charge. . . Now that's what I call great service! No run around, just service. Hawke is one company that honors it Lifetime Warranty. Thank you Hawke! Orv.

I wonder how we were ever able to get by, and hit what we aimed at, with a 1", SFP, 2-7x32 scope? I've been cycling through several modern, powerful scopes recently, FFP, 50mm bell, illuminated, 34mm tube, etc., and realized that I actually do just fine with an old Simmons Pro-Air 3-12. At least for all non-competition shooting.

I received my late last night Saturday this morning. I tried to mount my new scope in the base was wrong so I’m just sending it back and using an all Crossman 4 to 16.

This is good to know. This kind of service makes it easier to buy from a manufacturer and to be loyal to them. Thanks

Cant go wrong with Vortex. Their no questions asked warranty eliminates any buyer remorse you can throw it off a building then run it over and send it back and theyll just send a new one. The warranty is really that good. Mine have ALWAYS held zero, clear glass different reticle options. GTG on anything that shoots a projectile honestly. I linked a FFP scope in their line. I have one in a slightly higher magnification which was unnecessary but still as always dead ringer. Even their red dots and pistol red dots are FANTASTIC. Just my opinion.

Vortex scopes are great, but you wont find many if any that focus down to the 10yds most of us end up needing.
