What is a good scope for a springer Gamo? I typically take the ground squirrels from 10-45 yards with my cheap pump Remington but recently inherited a Gamo with no scope. It does have the trigger mod and he said it was a pretty accurate rifle and I hate pumping the old girl when there are multiple rodents out there.

My pump will group about the size of a half dollar at 25 yards when clean and lubed properly so I expect this will do as good or better. Not being a break action it is hard to clean the barrel. It has a 3x9 rifle scope on it that does not like the recoil of a .270 but keeps the zero on the pump. Don't think it would on the springer.

When looking I see several that are for air rifles but they don't always specify bi-directional recoil. Looking to spend $100 or less. Preferably in the $60-$75 range.
