Hello Everyone, Not really in the states myself, but i am getting a scope for my air rifle.. my budget is 50 to 100$ and the options here are limited, mostly chinese but they look ok. The discovery ones are over 200$ but i can't afford that right now. i got a quick look at the ones available in my budget and they are not plenty. the 100$ one looks like a 4-16x52. It's worth mentioning all of them are FFP. If you have any idea or suggestion to anything you think is useful please go ahead!
What should i look for in a budget scope?

My opinion
Spina or CVLife
FFP
AliExpress
Spina 5.5-22x56 FFP
$109
The Illuminated Reticle is about $10 more

Simply open Strelok reticle section and look for any manufacturer's scope with the same magnification levels and a mill dot reticle that matches and load that scope specs.

Very nice glass
that one. They also have other scopes that are very affordable. What country are you in? Upvote 0
Sfp will zoom in on target. Ffp hash marks retain same values when zoomed in or out, but when zoomed out they shrink in size.

Don't know which range you want to shoot but i only use hawke scopes since a few years, they never disappointed me.
Between 100- 200 bucks, hold their zero, clean picture, no fogged glass when you change from warm/cold environment, clean mil-dot, stable coating.
My favorite is the Vantage 3-9x40 AO IR Mil Dot.
Thinking about buying the fourth vantage next days...

Parallax adjustment, and able to adjust down to 25yds or closer.
Fine crosshairs and mildots.
Zero stop
Solid turret clicks.
Those are my main priorities.

Because his stated budget would cover that, right?
Also, plinking and pests under 50 yards requires, at minimum, a $200+ scope. Because you will obviously not be able to hit what you aim at if you use a $40 CVLife 3-9x40 AOE instead of that Discovery or Hawke FFP.

You should be able to get Vector Optics scopes from one of their international sites. They have really good value across all their scopes. You should be able to find something in your budget. They have sales frequently also.

Sure, if all you want is a red dot, that is what they sell for under $100.
Under $100 you are pretty much limited to CVLife, Fire Wolf, Spina, Diana if you shop on AliExpress.

There is a Leupold knockoff 6-24x60 that are pretty good. Not FFP but Side Focus and Illuminated Reticle, $65.
