Rifle Scope

Hang on... is this a wind-up? You've posted this in the Long Range target Shooting section!

For a Meteor why not try a simple AGS 3-9 x 40 so that you can see where the pellets strike or better still just use the open sights!

I can't put this into the air pistol section.

I have zeroed the open sights, but prefer a magnified, more accurate shot.

I'm looking for a scope that fits the rifle length as we speak, and am seeing plenty of 3-9's upwards. I'm now looking at what options I have available and do not want to buy cheap crap like smk or vector optics, etc.

Hmmmm....... I know what you mean about buying crap. I used an AGS Sapphire on my Meteor for ages, but having re-parallaxed it to suit 20 yards it wasn't much good at longer ranges, so perhaps an AO scope would be useful if you wanted to extend your range a bit? Lots of people rate the MTC Mamba Lite, which has the advantage of side focus and a nice fine reticle. It might not look out of place on a Meteor. The Bushnell scopes offer bright pictures with a plain reticle - maybe try and have a look at them too?
Good luck in your search!

In my view Vector optics scopes are not cheap crap as you put it. I have one on my trailsman and it is amazingly clear and has shot dead on since I got it about 1 year ago and I have only zeroed it once.
But if you still don't fancy one I'd go for the Simmons Whitetail Classic, brilliant scope and has taken lots of knocks on my hunter but never lost its zero.

My reasoning behind Vector is because I purchased one before and had to zero in almost every other time I shot and had generally crap sessions with it.

Now I intend to try out a better brand and slightly higher price to experiment.
