Deno you say you still haven't even used your rifle so how do you know what you really need.
The old recommendation of go and have a look at people doing what you want to do and what they use is the best but nearly always un listened to advice.

I'll just add that IMO, Asian optics in general have come a LONG way in recent times (And I'm old enough to remember when we thought anything coming out of Japan was rubbish!)
I have various brands here made in Japan, South Korea (Bushnell's Nitro) and Philippines.
The last Sightron I bought (STAC 4-20X50 SFP MOA-2 - Ideal for the OP's intended use but more than his budget) is made in The Philippines but it's certainly proving to be a decent scope from what I've seen so far.

Spend $500 on a scope only to find out it does not suit the job you wanted. Try to sell that $500 scope only yo find out it has basically no re sale value.

Next rifle will be a Crosman 1077. They are CO2 powered.
I'm told they don't rattle like springers do.

2.5-15x50mm with the illuminated reticle
It was $450 and it is basically only used for target shooting(up yo 200 yards), very minimal hunting use.
I really can't fault it. Are there better scopes out there? Of course, but it does it's job quite well in my opinion.
I could have probably done without the illuminated reticle, but it's there if needed.
I would recommend one.
YMMV

You get what you get, how much you pay for it has little to do with how good or bad it is. Price is based on a very long list of things that have next to nothing to do with the final product you're buying, or how well it'll do what you want of it.
You can buy the AR Optics for $395 or more, or you can pay under $200, for _exactly_ the same scope when it's on special. The price changes because of factors that have nothing at all to do with the product or the manufacturer. If you want a product that has "no questions unlimited transferable lifetime warranty", you can bet that you're paying extra for it, the manufacturer doesn't absorb the cost of those warranty claims, the customers do.

Can you see .22-cal bullet holes at that distance?
I can just barely with the 18x, but 180m is about as far as I can.

Thank you for the conversation everyone
A lot of people seem to enjoy the Bushnell AR Optics series
Would you guys say that the AR Optics series are the best ones to get in Bushnell?
I was looking at the Elite series as well as the Trophy Xtreme ones
