Don’t discount the connect for use on a springer especially a tuned one as quite a few do use them and can’t rate them highly enough .
Yea, no use on the springers though
Ive just bought another cheap £24 Richter fixed 6-40 mildot, I turn the front lens in one turn and have nice clear vision from 15 to 50 yds which is my airgun ranges and a nice feild of veiw for quickly finding target, I allready have one bought for £7 off flebay and its proven reliable.
Id like a 6-40/42 hawke panorama if ever made

4x or 6x mag does me for all except being rested up punching paper or warren watch when I was into that sort of thing. i.e. when we still had bunnies.
If your general usage means you want to see where your shots land or you shoot past 25 yds then less than 10x ain't gonna cut it IMHO.
If you going to walk over and look or you're happy to use secondary optics for spotting then you can get away with much less.
Pretty much I'd say there is no such thing as "general usage" though.
But if you just mean one range of magnification for everything - I'd go for sonething like 4-16 mag. But the penalty is weght...
I use 10x on both my Springer and pcp,if weight is an issue I’ve got a mamba lite on my compatto,swapped it for my old viper 10x44,changed the balance of the rifle completely,I use my Springer for hft so 10xmag puts my chosen zero and different ranges exactly on the scb
I guess it’s down to personal preference as is most things in the Airgun world
It's not very often my scopes move any further than 8-12x mag that seems to cover all my air rifles and my powder burners.
