Does anyone have any good suggestions for a target rifle scope in MRAD that is "springer rated".

My criteria would be:
Parallax down to 10m min
First focal plane or fixed magnification
Target reticle in MRAD
Springer rated (Going on an HW77 .177)
Budget would be around 400$ (I have other money pit guns already)

How I intend to use this:
Target shooting out to 100m max mostly out to 50m
Some pest control


I reached out to arken to see if thier LH-4 can handle a springer with bidirectional recoil impulse.
 
I use Hawke Vantage and Airmax scopes on my Weihrauch, Diana and Air Arms Springers. All my springers are 22 caliber for hunting. I have nailed a problem coyote with a head shot from my Diana 54 Air King with a Hawke Vantage 4-16x50 illuminated scope.
 
Any Athlon except Talos or Neos Or Hawke Airmax compact are good. I use both with no problems and their warranty will back them up
Not arguing or calling you out - it’s also what I’ve been told but I’ve had a Athlon Talos on a springer air rifle since Oct . 2022. Lots of use has held up perfectly

Just posting this cause it seems from experience and lots of posts over at AirgunNarion that the entire Athlon line up has the enteral strength to handle the push pull recoil of even magnum springers .
 
Dang good deal on the 6x24x50 at the moment. I have one on a Weihrauch HW 90. So far it has returned to zero every time. Wish the center dot on the reticle was bigger is my only complaint.

 
That sounds like a solid plan!
The Arken LH-4 could be a good fit if it handles the springer's bidirectional recoil. Another option you might want to consider is the Hawke Airmax 30 SF. It's got parallax adjustment down to 10m, first focal plane, and is springer rated. Plus, it fits your budget!
 
I learned to really like compact scopes for springers just because they don't cover the loading ports of some rifles like TX 200s and HW77/97s. I recently posted a review of some pretty good quality compact scopes on AGN that you might want to look at. Basically, the Vector Optics Veyron series, GPO, and Optisan CP. Prices range from $299 to $629.
