    None of the above, I much prefer a hawke panorama with the half mildot reticle.

    I had a great 80 in 25, & tried the red dot farce, useless in my opinion over 10m, i got a hawke airmax in 2-7x32, it really suited the rifle.

    I voted for a compact scope but, I imagine that lightweight .25 springer with open sights would be a lot of fun - especially if it could be an HW30 at about 11ftlb.

    All of the above.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I don't know why you would treat a .25 any different to another caliber, yes sub 12 it could be a bit loopy on trajectory, but then with a decent scope and good practice their as accurate as any other caliber.
    Personally I use similar scopes on all my rifles 4x12x40 which suits my shooting style.

    I guess it depends what you are using it for.

    Exactly, a little 1.5-5 or 2-7 scope suits them but so does iron sights

    I bought robs .25 80 and fitted a whitetail classic 1.5x 5x 20. Perfect if not using open sights.
