I read the other reveiws about putting it on a break barrel I am here to tell you BSA has a great product and I've put a can of 250 pellets through my Octaine 22 cal and you can drive a nail with this scope . Great scope works like a champ at 75 yds to 100 yds shooting varment..

Pros
Easy to sight in and use optics clear just great

Cons
None but make sure you get good mounts and once you sight it don't retibhten screws or mount clamps or you WILL be off. Center

Love this scope but, after reading reviews from others I decided against mounting it on a break barrel.

Pros
It has optic clarity of a much more expensive scope. Very very clear.

Cons
Apparently it won't take springer recoil. It would make a good choice for a pcp. The scope is actually made for the 17 HMR and has elevation compensation for that round. It won't be a useful feature on any air rifle but as a scope it's still pretty good and very inexpensive

I bought one of these many years ago for a rimfire. In that capacity is worked flawlessly (ignoring the turret markings since I was using it on a .22LR). I recently moved it to my Crosman 1077 because the AO is invaluable at the much shorter distances. However, at 10M the parallax reading is a touch beyond the 15 tick & at 15M it is between 50 & 70 ticks. I have not tried it on a springer & I don't plan to. Otherwise, the optics are clear and sharp. I can't comment on POI shift between magnifications because the 1077 isn't consistent enough over enough shots to convince me that the rifle isn't a factor.

Pros
Clear, bright, inexpensive

Cons
Inaccurate AO tick marks

Does not stand up to the recoil of a springer, my .177 np gun broke the reticle within 50 shots.

However it won't hold zero on a pellet gun (spring or gas) I don't know why Airgun Depot would have this scope come up with search if it's not for an airgun? I'd return it, but it's my fault for not checking closer. It was doing great for the first 25 or 30 shots. I would recommend this scope for a firearm, but not an airgun.

This scope is built for a .17 caliber center fire rifle, not an air gun. It seems to be a pretty good scope, but I have less than 50 shots from my Browning under-leaver .177 pellet rifle with this scope mounted. The elevation / distance compensation turret is useless because of the difference in ballistics between .17 rifles and .177 air guns. The "double recoil" of spring powered air guns may cause this scope to deteriorate more quickly than a scope built for air guns. The scope that came with the Browning was fine, but it was so long that it was difficult to load the rifle. I put the Browning scope on a Power Piston air rifle that came with a really poor scope and bought this scope for the Browning. It is shorter, and allows easy loading on the Browning. On the negative side, I had to run the elevation turret almost all the way up to get the pellet strike point in the black at 25 yards. So far, I have not shot it at further distance. The elevation problem may be with the scope rings or the rifle itself, and not the scope. My only reason for not giving this scope a five star rating is that it is not made for air guns. Purchasing it from an air gun company, I was expecting a dedicatedly made product.

I originally put this scope on a Silent Cat, and later switched it over to my Benjamin NP2. Can't say anything bad about it, in fact it's a very nice scope if you ask me. I really like the capless turrents. Hate those caps. I've had this scope for a year or so and had to go back and look to see how much I paid for it. I think I actually paid more for mine than they are selling for now. Oh well, it's only about ten bucks, and I've well already gotten my money's worth, with what looks like may be an investment that yields good service for a long, long time.

Pros
Seems to never loose it adjustment.

Scope did not hold up on my GAMO Big Cat 1400. Within a few shots of sighting in the reticle was rotating inside scope tube. Nice scope, I just wouldn't recommend for a heavy recoil GAMO.

Pros
Awesome clarity Ease of adjustment

Cons
Heavy

Nice scope solid built easy sighted hold zero so far mounted on my gamo hornet. 177 so works good from 3-9 power clear optics prefer fixed parallax for air guns avarage distances for hunting 20m 40m!! For quick target accusation I like the turret. Calibration for different pellets weights and caliber.over would buy again good scope for under $100 preferably go with Leapers Scopes I Owen a few of them

Pros
Good scope for under $100 solid build no problem as of yet time will tell.

Cons
Poor instructions on scope 17 hmr features be careful of turrets set screws their small Allen screws you must losing them removed turret to calibrated instructions vary vague

What type of reticle does it have?

asked Payne

it has a duplex reticle. no mil dots.

glenn from USA

It's a Duplex Crosshair.

Tom Parrish

Does this scope have a mil dot rectical?

asked Shawn from USA

No mil-dot,30-30 ricticle that means there is 30inches of windage and 30inches of elevated adjustment.for the $$ this scope as adjustable AO adjustable objective,i have personally hit targets at 80yrds with this scope mounted on a umarex ruger .177cal using rws 8.3 gr pellets.with only 30-30inch adjustment and consider barrel droop you may. need to shim the scope,very adjusting as close as 7yrds clear parllex.nice quality scope for the money gamo/bsa warranty excellent customer service. Safe shooting. And have fun.

Hector from USA

Will this scope stand up to the one pump guns? I have a Gamo Bone Collector . With harsh recoil.

asked Jerry

Yes I believe it will stand up to the recoil of your gun. I was using mine on a Hatsan AT44 that has a little recoil but moved it to my Crossman Phantom that has a pretty good recoil. My Phantom was actually a lot harder than it use to be and found out it was because of a broken spring. I also had a Benjamin Trail NP and I'm sure it could handle that as well.

derrick from USA

does this item com with scope mounts?

asked thomas

Scott from USA

Will this scope preform on a crosman nitro venom dusk .177?

asked John

it should work fine on your venom. I put it on my vantage np and love it.i used the accushot 1in highrings as the recoil loosed other rings. love the adjustability of this scope, clarity and 30x30 duplex reticle. great scope for price and fast dependable shipping from AGD.

douglas from USA

How will this scope preform on a crosman nitro venom dusk .177?

asked John

What reticle does it have

asked Carter

Does it have mil dots?

asked Darren

No mil dots.

Robert from USA

Is this scope accurate?

asked Cole

See https://www.airgundepot.com/air-rifle-scopes-overview.html for explanation why scopes on break barrels get out of alignment.

William from USA

It's accurate if you get it sighted in properly and you have solid mounts.

William from USA

will this scope work on my gamo hornet it is a spring air rifle.

asked dylan

yes , BUT OVER 45 to 50 yards, you will need skills so you can quick scope its, real accurate. It is for pro's i can hit dead center 50 yards with my gamo bone collector,thanks to higher scope mounts i bought off airgundepot.com, ps...great prices

luis from USA

see https://www.airgundepot.com/air-rifle-scopes-overview.html for an explanation of why scopes on break barrel rifles get out of alignment.

William from USA

It should work with the proper mount. But on a break barrel rifle any scope is subject to getting out of alignment I'm told. AirgunDepot sells the Hornet with a scope already mounted.

William from USA

Will this work with the Big Cat 1250?

asked Cole

Only if you can use a 1pc mount. A 2pc mount will give you some difficulty when you go to sight the scope. It's a great scope for you buck. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy plinking. Whitty

Rod from USA

What size flip up covers do I buy for it?

asked Alan Baliko

You don't need flip covers, The scope comes with threaded metal covers on each end. For me this is perfect, as I use strictly for competition shooting, not for hunting.

John from USA

Will this scope hold zero on a Gamo Whisper?

asked gary

Most of the time when your scope. Looses its center it because of loose MOUnts or if you check the screws to see if they are loose but remember once you sight in it will always be with in a click of its off If you tighten the screws or mounts you will move the scope and then be out of sight

charles w shaffer from USA

I was given the Benjamin Titan NP .22 break barrel as a gift and want to upgrade the glass. Is the scope suitable for this Air gun ?

asked Rod

I have the scope mounted on a CO2 rifle and it works fine.. get a solid mount. But scopes on break barrels are subject to getting out of alignment. see https://www.airgundepot.com/air-rifle-scopes-overview.html

William from USA

Is this scope rated for use on airguns....specifically a Crosman Titan?

asked Gibby

It works fine on airguns.. but any scope on a break barrel can get out of alignment see https://www.airgundepot.com/air-rifle-scopes-overview.html for a good explanation.
