Scope for RWS 350M

[hobbyist]

I have an old (25yrs+) Bushnell 3x-9x BDC (Bullet Drop Compensator) Banner that I bought new, paid something like $200 for it and and has been riding my Rem 700BDL in 270Win.  It is not as clear as my high end scopes but it has been a great & reliable scope and have never had any problems with it.  It is a quality scope!

I am thinking about buying a Bushnell 4200/3200 for the 270win and moving the old Banner to my newly acquired RWS 350M Airgun.

Given that the magnums are hard on scopes, what do you think?

Hello, new member here. I have a M350 .22 and I would NOT recommend you put the Bushnell on it. It may not hold up to the double recoil.  I have a Bushnell Legend 5X15X40 Mil dot in a 1 pc mount. I would suggest that you try a Leapers scope. I have had good luck with them on heavy recoilling springers. They are relatively inexpensive. Just a suggestion.
Hope this helps

How is the 5-15x40 Legend working out?  How many shots have you gone thru?

I've put several hundred rounds throught it. It is in a one piece mount and the zero hasn't moved a bit. It was originally on a PCP but I moved it to the M350 when I upgraded. I know some would consider it only for medium recoil level. Maybe the Legends are tougher than most give them credit for or I've been lucky.

get a Leapers form http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ . These are the ONLY scopes that i have found so far the cost less then 100$ and are as good or better than name band scopes and can take anything. they were the first one to make airgun scopes for Spring-Piston and they are the best.  Get a Leapers for any airgun and start shooting.
