I picked up a Tasco TAR432 airgun scope at a crazy good deal from Dominion Outdoors in Winkler Manitoba. It arrived on Dec 24th and turned out to be better than expected. The scope came with a set of scope caps and 11mm mounts with an adjustable recoil pin and double screw clamps. The TAR432 also has:

Adjustable objective marked from 7.5 to 100 yards
Fast-focus eyepiece
Metal turret caps
Metal turret dials with positive clicks
Coated lenses
Duplex crosshairs
9.5" overall length
Fixed 4 power magnification
32mm objective
Designed to withstand the "whiplash recoil" of a springer air rifle
Lifetime warranty with authorized service outlet in Ontario

I have been looking for a short low-priced scope for my SPA WF-600 underlever rifle and this Tasco works perfectly. The 9.5" length properly positions the scope for good eye relief without having to crawl forward with a bent neck. It also allows full access to the loading port. Anything longer than about 10.5" starts to cover the loading port or messes with eye relief. A mildot crosshair would be an improvement but for 10-40 yard plinking I'll sight-in for 20 just use holdover/under when needed.

The Tasco airgun rated scope series is also available in a 2-7x32AO and 3-9x40AO but these options were a bit too long for my little underlever rifle.

That looks great Todd.
I just ordered a compact 3-9x32 from Wes at Airgunarcheryfun.ca
Same idea, wanted an inexpensive, compact scope for one of my plinking rifles.

Looking forward to seeing what it is like.

Happy New Year everyone,

Hi Rob... I was actually deciding between the OHhunt 3-9X and the Tasco 4X compact scopes. Both would have been fine picks for my WF-600.

Great choice for the WF. Good price for an AO scope too!
I have not seen rings with double screw mounting and single screw caps. No worries, nothing is going to move with the minimal recoil of these little underlevers.
Now my WF in .22 is jealous. It's been acting a little cranky since I put 2-6x32AO scopes on my other two B3s in .177.

Nice one! Looks good. I like the turrets.

I got one of these Ohhunts used. I liked it. It had a funky objective but it was easy to zero and I shot accurate with it. I'm sure I had it on my WF for a time but it went on a good-shooting Optimus. I gave them away
