Has anyone tried this on an air rifle? Can it withstand air gun recoil?

I used it on a Beeman R1. It eventually (after about 1500 shots) cracked the optics. It was very good and accurate while it lasted; I actually think it was shooting it in the the freezing weather that broke it. Have it on a Beeman R7 for several years now; that has a much lighter recoil. These red dots have much simpler optics than a magnification optical scope and can stand up to the type of abuse an air rifle subjects them to.

Seems to be fine for me. I used it on an AR-15. They don't have much recoil. I might not use it with any larger caliber rifle.

worked fine on my Crossman air rifle, couldn't handle recoil from my ar though wouldn't hold zero.

I did not put it on an air soft rifle so I do not know but, it did come with a different buffertube that would not fit a true ar lower. Hope this helps

Yes. The scope is actually sprung airgun rated which means it can hold up to pretty serious and eccentric recoil. It can be used on most rifles with no issues.

Air rifle, if used on a real firearm the crosshairs would fall apart from the recoil.

An air rifle scope is designed to recoil in both directions forward and back without the crosshairs or lenses coming loose, many regular rifle scopes are not so designed and as such they will self destruct. The best thing to do would be to contact the manufacturer of the particular scope you wish to use and ask if they reccomend their scope for air rifle use.

lol well ok First, do not waste your money on so called Air Rifle scopes, have yet to see one that was worth even the low price air rifles do a double recoil, due how they work I have tried three air rifle scopes, and all failed after use next hint get a tiny amount of aluminum foil and fold it up a only a couple of times, put it between the scope and the rings will move the sight poine will take experimating I purchased a Springfiels Armory Rifle scope suitabule for a center fire rifle did cost a few times more, but it has not stopped working as a couple of opossum and some squirrles might attest to from varmint heaven lol good luck lol well ok First, do not waste your money on so called Air Rifle scopes, have yet to see one that was worth even the low price air rifles do a double recoil, due how they work I have tried three air rifle scopes, and all failed after use next hint get a tiny amount of aluminum foil and fold it up a only a couple of times, put it between the scope and the rings will move the sight poine will take experimating I purchased a Springfiels Armory Rifle scope suitabule for a center fire rifle did cost a few times more, but it has not stopped working as a couple of opossum and some squirrles might... » Read More lol well ok First, do not waste your money on so called Air Rifle scopes, have yet to see one that was worth even the low price air rifles do a double recoil, due how they work I have tried three air rifle scopes, and all failed after use next hint get a tiny amount of aluminum foil and fold it up a only a couple of times, put it between the scope and the rings will move the sight poine will take experimating I purchased a Springfiels Armory Rifle scope suitabule for a center fire rifle did cost a few times more, but it has not stopped working as a couple of opossum and some squirrles might attest to from varmint heaven lol good luck « Show Less

Not so sure. This is an air rifle scope and it is set up for air gun recoil. My scope is on a gamo air rifle. Better check out scopes made for .22 regular rifles.

I put it on an air venturi Bronco and so far okay. It is supposed to handle the recoil. I haven't put many rounds through mine around a hundred only so maybe someone else with more use will chime in.

Didnt have it when I did have to sight in my Gamo Whisper, but I did use it to zero my Marlin XL7 in 30-06. It handled the kick from that mule just fine, air rifle should be no issue. As you may already know, break action air rifles actually push forward when they recoil due to the momentum of the piston slamming forward, which will just lock it onto the rest even tighter. My one recommendation is to fill the stand (it has openings for this) with heavy sand or lead shot to add mass and keep it in place better. Mine weighs about 15lbs now, filled with a fine lead shot from sandbag weights.

it should work fine, I was using it on the AR platform , and it made it set a little to low. But on a standard rifle , I do not see any problems . good luck, and good hunting

I am using it with an AK-47 Pistol in 7.62x39. No idea on recoil limit - ask MFR

I purchased this bipod for my .308 Remington 770 and have had no issues from recoil. The only suggestion I would have it not to tighten the bipod too much because it is easy to strip the bolt. A friend of mine purchased the same one and it stripped on his first install.

I bought it for my squirrel slayer: a T/C Contender with a 10" inch .22lr barrel. it did pretty good but I'm into open sights lately. reserving it now for a .357 mag revolver, time will tell if it holds up. the rings are medium height. Would not suggest for a heavy recoil gun, might work ok on AR type.

I have a Daisy pump air rifle. I just test fitted the clamp on the barrel and I works perfectly. Holds tight and very stable.

I have a friend that has his mounted on an AK; I suppose the recoil could be an issue, but his apparent works quite well.
