How would this sight hold up against being shot by BBs?

ive seen those videos where folks shoot them with bb's, I see no combat situation where id be shooting an optic with bb's though, its a 30$ sight, it probably wont survive a bb blast, usually the double glass higher end ones survive

No idea how it would hold up, but it has a warranty. So you could order one and try it out and maybe tell others how they hold up. If it doesn't work out, you can return it. For the money, I don't know of another sight that is this good. It's worth a try ! Remember, do not leave the battery in the sight if you will not be using it for a while. Leaking batteries screw up a lot of good electronics. This also uses a large, common button battery and it comes with two ( A spare ). Good luck and post a review !

Pretty good. I put it on a 12 guage, and it holds up fairly well. Would be good for a bb gun, a bit bulky, but still good.

If you mean to actually shoot the scope you are wrong to shoot any scope,if you want to know if it would work on a BB gun,YES.ARD

Assuming the 3/8" dovetail mount, you should be very happy with this scope. I can't speak to it's weather proofing, but I haven't experienced any problems with mine. A very clear image with a decent range of adjustments. The eye relief is generous allowing for a nice range of scope placement options. For the proce, it is a good airgun scope. I've used mine at both .177 cal and .22 cal with stable solid performance.

It's so cheap because this attachment is mainly intended for airsoft use. For the price, hell I'd just buy one and test it out. If it works then you just got yourself quite the steal, if not, then no harm no foul. Personally, this is a very solid sight. It's all metal and has survived several drops on my AR replica. I believe it will hold up.

The sight sits kinda high above your rail, so yes, you should be fine. Mine has a flat front gas book and so front sights would not be an issue for me. It may be visible if you have a raised front gas block, but should not obstruct your crosshairs.

Yes it will buy I don't recommend this Sight unless for air soft gun or 22LR. It is not very bright. There are others much better for not much more.

Cant say for sure that it will withstand a direct hit although it should. Might be a little hard to see through the glass after that. I have it on a small 22 semi auto and it's been on there for several months. I've probably put close to 1000 rounds through it and have not had to re-zero it yet.

I have the scope on a 22, I would worry about how well it would handle the recoil. But for the money it's worth a shot

Not good those plastic balls an steel bbs will bounce back at you. Should only shoot lead pellets at STEEL TARGETS . Id say no closer then 20 yards. Then wear safety glasses your eyes are very important

Using it on a 7.62 x 51 Ruger 762 with a quick acquisition sight mounted above. Without the additional QA sight it was an issue because the FOV is less than my eyes deal with quickly at less than 150 yds. Its clear, and so far has held up well. At high power setting, you can see a really, really long way.

From my BB gun experience many years ago, I would suppose it would suffice if one placed a paper target in front of it. When used with arrows, of course, the arrows will show the point of impact. After a period of time with BBs it would be hard to tell where the BBs hit, and the accuracy of the shooter. If the shooter is not fairly accurate, I would look to a larger backing, such as a bale of hay.

Yes and no, it will depend on how far is the target as the red dot is not really visible during sunlight. I am in TX and we get A LOT of sunlight, so not very useful for me. In the best condition, I think it would be good for 50 yards. The boresight only helps you sight it in, so that it will be closer to the intended target. I don't really recommend it.

It will take the recoil but it's a junk sight that I don't recommend. Hard to initially zero, but it holds the zero well. Buy a better sight-you'll be happier..

I have this scope mounted on a sks. The mount lets me see through the bottom to use iron sights. I use the scope for shots over 25 yards and out to 200 yards and more. I use iron sights for shots under 25 yards. I really like this scope, for the price it can't be beat.

It has cowitnessed great on both my ARs, one with a fixed front sight and another with a BUS flip up on a block. Holds up well to .223. Looks like holding up well with ~300 rounds through an AR in 7.62 as well. These are good sights for the $$. I worried alot about co-witnessing at first, but I found that once I get it sighted I just need to bear down on the rifle and put the dot on the target and it is on. I do not try and ensure it co-witnesses before I fire, but if I do put the dot on the very top of the front sight post it is also on the money. I actually use it with the front sight down on the one rifle now (after sighting it) and it is golden...

I can't answer that question right now because I've only shot about 90 rounds of 300 Blackout with it. I would assume they would hold-up because the mount seems very sturdy to me.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. My concern was that in bright daylight I would not be able to pick up the front sight once painted. I have a tritium insert so I have no problem under dark conditions or even at night.

Have only used it in cold damp conditions at the range.. had no issues... Keep in mind this is a cheap Chinese made sight..
