Rigin7,
What is your budget? Depending on that one could make a few suggestions.

May I know why a PM is more effective when it comes to suggestions about a scope? Just curious.

I was not only going to suggest a few, but thought of connecting the OP with a few members.

From my personal experience I have seen many Chinese manufactured 'Bushnell' and 'Leupold' scopes in Indian shops for anything from 3000 INR - 10,000-15,000 INR.. However all of them were fake copies. What one needs to get a genuine scope for sensible prices in this country remains a profound mystery to me...

Please know that I am not being argumentative here. But, to my mind, it is more helpful if you can share your suggestions here so that others can benefit too.

If you want a genuine scope and not the aliexpress one, you can try and buy from the forum members here like Sathya, Rijo et all. You might come across brands like Bushnell, Hawke, Leapers, Center Point etc. You can decide on your specs, budget and go ahead.

If you want to mount a scope on an Indian airgun and can live with a 4x magnification then a Chinese 4x20 does get the job done even out to 100m+, I can vouch for that.. A 'genuine' scope with its original receipt and serial number will cost you thousands in India - its basically extortion tactics in India. It takes some experience with scopes to identify fakes from 'genuine' and the dealer might just hand you a fake one at a higher price..
Aliexpress is a website that sells Chinese scopes, pick any decent one and keep fingers crossed... Take one with buyer protection, you might get some money back if the great indian customs decides you're importing a weapon of mass distraction...

Any springer scope worth its salt will be 2-3 times the price of your airgun in INDIA. Order a cheapo from Aliexpress and use it.
