JB, I've got a couple Leapers, they aren't the greatest scopes, but they are very clear, bright and seem to hold their zero, I have one on an RWS 46, so far it's still working after a couple hundred rounds. I have the 3-9x50 RGB mildot and the 4x mini, the mini isn't mounted right now tho. One thing you'll want to know about them, particularly the 3-9x anyway, is the FOV is somewhat restricted, there's a thick black ring around the FOV, better scopes don't have this.

On the leapers the only ones to considder are the bugbusters. a lot of folks considder them to be the best in airguns. I have a few of them, can't report if there are better brands out there or not because this is as high as I'm willing to go. If your looking more at the lower end price scopes, you may want to look into the beeman scopes. They are clearer than most in the price range and hold up well. I have no idea who makes them, but they are on par with the bushnell 3200 elite  centerfire scopes everyone was so up on 3 or 4 years ago.

Leapers scopes are good but stick w/ the higher end scopes.

I have a bugbuster w/around 2300 shots on it still holds zero perfectly.

A friend has a 16x on a 22-250 and has killed hundreds of pd's w/it.
He also has an accushot 3x12 w/2500-3000 shots on it ---for the price they are great.-Mike
