Best scope for a Gamo Swarm Magnum .22 ?

Had a look and a feel of the Swarm Magnum and though some might think it's a bit rough compared to many of the finer airguns around, it was fine for me.  I've owned Norinco rimfires, so anything that looks mostly finished without the use of a machete and steel wool is fine by me.

Went through some scope options that were discussed on here and was ready to to get one of the NS scopes mentioned.    I've had a Panamax on a .22 and it didn't have enough focus adjustment for my ever deteriorating eyesight and the new ones are no better.  Then when I'd spoken with Mike, the sales person there, who was very helpful, I subsequently had a look through an Element Iris 4-12 x 44. Thanks to my eyes being the same age as the rest of me it's often difficult to get a scope with enough focus adjustment for me to use without glasses, however this scope, though a little above my budget, was easily manageable, relatively bright and the reticle certainly looks like it could be useful.  And I've still got 3 fullturns of focus before i need to get shooting glasses.  It's a little more range than I need at 12 x maximum, but the deal I got through Mike, including a spare mag and a selection of H&N pellets, 5 different types in all, had the whole set up sneaking in just a touch over budget.

Coming from .177, the slugs are huge.  I've loaded up the Baracuda Green and the Baracuda Hunter so I still have the Hornet, Power and Crow Magnum to go also.  I've also ordered a packet of JSB Hades from Delta Mike too, so I'll have plenty to test and see which are going to perform best.   The Hades seem to have a number of very positive reviews, so we will see.

Really fizzing to get out and put some slugs down range.  Mum's Dutch and Dad was a Scot, so I'll enjoy the pellet shooting without crying about $4.50 a round through the 7/08.

Thank you everybody that contributed. I may not have followed the exact advice I was given but if any of the NS options were something I could have focussed without glasses, they would have been an effective choice.  Lifetime warranty on the scope and 5 year warranty on the rifle, so no complaints.   

I'll post a review when I've completed the testing phase.   Unless I've turned in to a sh*t shot, in which case I'll just shut up and pretend I'm still a marksman.

A hundy with air seems like a long off my skill set, but I've used subsonic .22 to that range and it was just a matter of learning the curve.  

It would be worth a try just to see how much I miss by.

Thank you.

The parallax fix is quite simple. I did it on a Vortex Viper I fitted to a 17HMR so I'm not worried about that.  I don't object to spending good money on good optics if they're fit for purpose.

While most fixed parallax scopes are set at 100 yards, it is possible to adjust this - this is covered in the following video

Doesn't work on the cheapo Gamo 4x32 which is set at 25 yards  but did work on the CVLife JackalHowl.   Still need to fine tune a bit but I've reset this to around 30 meters.

i also notice you have a mountain of clearance between the scope and the tube, which seems contrary to accepted practice for accuracy?

Yep, no questions warranty is a no brainer.  I was talking to a mate in pest control that uses an Elements Iris 3- 9 x40 on his Swarm.   It's a $400 scope though.

Any other options around that price that are better value?

I'm having a look there next and thank you for the link.

Much apppreciated.
