Let’s talk about some scopes. We believe these are some of the best scopes for Gamo Silent Cat you could buy right this instant. Why is that? Glad you asked. Let’s find that out.
1. Pinty 2.5-10×40 Red Green Illuminated Mil-dot Scope
Pinty 2.5-10×40 is a budget riflescope. The main purpose of this riflescope is to aid you in hunting. Newbies will benefit a lot from this scope due to the price and what it has to offer in return.
It’s constructed from aluminum. A durable and lightweight material perfect for scopes. It’s not too heavy either. Won’t make your Silent Cat feel heavier.
The internal of the scope is purged to prevent moisture. Making the scope fogproof. To make it viable with better rifles, it is also shock and waterproof at the same time.
The lenses are perfectly coated with multiple layers of chemicals. It’s good to see companies giving good lenses in budget scopes as well. On the left side of the scope, there is a laser light to guide you. Highly accurate laser guides you accurately to your target. Ensuring you hit all the shots you are taking with this scope.
It’s a great pair with the Gamo Silent Cat. Like, great pairing. While it’s not rated solely for air rifles, it won’t have much issue handling the Silent Cat. Compared to other air rifles, the Silent Cat has a less harsh recoil pattern.

Yes, it comes with an integrated mounting interface. Suitable for picatinny/weaver rail.
Where is this scope made?
Like most other budget optics. This one is also made in China.
Is the laser accurate here?
Lasers are meant to be accurate. But they are not infinite. So, to the maximum legal capability of this laser light, it’s accurate.
2. OMMO 3-9X40 Red Green Illuminated Riflescope
OMMO is another great budget offering for hunters. It’s astonishing to see scopes this cheap offering aluminum housing and glass lenses.
OMMO is not the most well-known brand in the market. They are relatively new to the scene. They are offering dirt-cheap scopes for your bolt action rifles. The best part is, it’s not some plastic toy scope that will break from a single hit of the rifles. This is a fully aluminum scope with internal nitrogen purging. That makes it fogproof and waterproof. On top of that, it’s shockproof as well.
The lens here is made out of glass. The coating is great. It’s vibrant and bright. While there is slight distortion at the maximum magnification, it’s acceptable. It’s not a 400$ scope after all. It does offer humongous 9x magnification. That’s something!
With a Gamo Silent Cat, it goes well. It’s not too bad at holding the harsh recoil of an air rifle. It can hold onto the gun well. While I can understand you being skeptical, I will still recommend this scope to you. It’s a dirt-cheap scope. You can easily get another same scope if something horrible happens to the current one.

3. Gamo Air Gun Scope LC4X32 with Rings
Gamo air gun scope for Gamo Silent Cat. Better pairing with Twilight. LC is a 4x scope with a 32mm objective lens. It’s made out of plastic and suitable for Gamo Silent Cat. Gamo recommends this scope highly.
The housing of this scope is made of plastic. That can be a bummer for the most. But keep in mind, it’s mostly a starting point of scope for your Silent Cat. Gamo recommends you upgrade the scope down the line as well.
The lens here is fully coated. It’s a 32mm objective lens. Thankfully the lens is made out of glass, not plastic. Plastic lenses are very bad to look at. The base magnification of the scope is 4x. That’s good enough for Gamo Silent Cat.
It’s an okay scope. That’s for sure. Just for the compatibility and pricing alone, it’s a fine pair with Gamo Silent Cat. Otherwise, it’s not recommended for different guns.
Does it come with mounting rings?

It’s made from thermoplastic-like material. Durable and useable. That’s it.

4. OTW Scope 3-9X56 Red &Green Illuminated Optics Scope
Packing up to 9x magnification with a massive 56mm objective lens. OTW here has to offer a lot of things. A great part of this scope is the build quality. Instead of going the plastic route, OTW chose to stick with aluminum.
The aluminum used here is pretty stiff and high-quality. It’s not on par with a 300$ scope per se. But it’s very well comparable to 100$ ones. Inside of the scope is nitrogen purged as well. Making it fogproof. The outside is durable enough to withstand recoil shocks.
If you pair it with a Gamo Silent Cat, you will have a great time. there are two colored reticles present in this scope. Red and green. Bright and gives good clarity during low light. Paired with coated lenses, have to admit it can give a tough battle to many expensive scopes.
Where is it made?
China.
Is the lens fully multi-coated?
No, it just features a single or a couple of layers at best.
Is this a good choice for AR-15?
No, they are better.
5. Hammers 3-9x32AO Air Rifle Scope with One-Piece Mount
Hammers AO is a riflescope for air guns. A perfect pair for Gamo Silent Cat.
Made out of high-quality aluminum, Hammers did a good job building this scope. there are no visual defects on the housing. Anodization is on point as well. The inside of the scope has purging as well. That makes the scope fogproof—a perfect companion to hunt during the winter.
The lenses of the scopes are coated as well. While they are not fully multi-coated, they are decently coated for brighter image processing. 32mm objective lens gathers more than enough sunlight. It’s not the best choice for low light, but it’s doable.
Gamo Silent Cat is a perfect pairing with this scope. I would go as far as to say this is one of the if not the best scopes for Gamo Silent Cat. It’s that good of a match. 9x magnification is enough to give you a competitive edge over your competition. It’s enough to land you some legal hunts.
Where is this scope made?
This optic is also manufactured in China.
Is the aluminum any good?
Yes, it’s not fake aluminum or bad if you are wondering.

Gamo Silent Cat Scopes – Things to Consider!
We have considered a couple of things before selecting a scope for the Gamo. You should keep those things in mind as well.
Build Quality
We all know air rifles can destroy a regular riflescope. Mainly due to the harsh and thrashy recoil. But if you choose a scope that is made to withstand harsh recoils, then they can be a good pair for Gamo. That’s why, having a scope with good build quality is mandatory.
Weight
Gamo Silent Cat is a fairly lightweight gun. It’s a bit back-heavy. If you add a scope that is back-heavy as well, then it will be a mismatch and chaos. Choose a scope with good weight distribution and preferably low weight.
Lens Quality
Silent Cat is not the most powerful rifle. It can shoot at 1200FPS. That’s good and all, but it’s not enough for long-range. That’s why, a scope with a good quality lens that performs well in the short-range territory, will be a heavenly match for Silent Cat.
Summary
Riflescopes can work as air rifle scopes. But unless you need to, you shouldn’t. That’s why we mentioned some budget riflescopes that won’t break your bank and will still give you a good performance with the silent cat.
That’s all for today, I hope to see you again. Till next time.
