Hi Jerry , thank you for your inquiry, the Gamo Hunter Extreme SE Air Rifle would be very effective at 35 yards, not as effective at 50 yards. Thanks Phil

Yes easly. But it depends on the pellet and the person. Once you get a certain pellet zeroed in. Don't swap you will just be zeroing in again. Side note: you can use cheep bulk led pellets that have decent weight and it still cracks like a .22

It has good range, easily out to 100 yds or more. On Gen 1 night optics you won't find good ones with high powers so you're limited to the range by the fact that low power doesn't increase view target sizes much. Otherwise, you can't beat this one, I love it for the price.

I can only speak for shooting at 100 yards. Haven't taken it past that, I have no range around me that offers 300 yards.

RR, I found that you have to determine what distance you want as your target point. Plus, I found that the scope that comes with the rifle didn't do the job very well and I broke it trying to get it to get on target, not only for distance, but, also for the left and right setting. I bought another one, not expensive, and raised the rear sight up by about 1/4 inch on the rifle. My target point is about 250-300 ft.. Raising the rear sight allows for the ability to tune the scope to that distance without breaking it. After having done that, the accuracy was maintained even shooting about 2-3000 rounds in it. I also found that if I put my pellets in lubricating oil, the speed and distance are greatly increased. I found that, at a distance of about 50 feet, a pellet will go through an inch thick pine board. I am enjoying the rifle, I hope you will too! JimS

Great training aid - fun to shoot. Actual range is pretty limited - I would estimate it to be in the 15-20 yard range.It's a break open pellet gun, they generally don't have a great deal of power.

im not to sure about the exact range but it does shoot far its a great gun and its fairly accurate.

I only used it with a scoped rifle not bad. Take it to the range start at 5yds and work your way back

I shoot 8 inch steel with the P-223 on a 16 inch Bushmaster Patrolman carbine at 300 yards easily...Haven't tried it further than that yet. Get the "Spot On" software for your phone as it works very well. You can also get repeatable results dialing in your elevation and just using crosshairs instead of the software. Retired Military here....Would have loved to have had this on my AR's while in service!

240 fps. No more than 177 yds max but that's like saying a .22 is no more than a mile. I find that it's excellent for what it's made for. Definitely not a squirrel gun.

How well do you shoot? This scope will do fine the effective range of a 5.56 is about 600 yards with perfect conditions.

I purchased this primarily to use on my home defense weapon. I want to see what I'm shooting. Because many of my usage scenarios are inside, I actually went outside in the sunlight to check the range. There is a big difference when you are in the sunlight, but I could see it roughly 30 - 40 yards away.

I am using it on a lever action rifle chambered in 357Mag/38Spec and it has very little kick. It works well for me. I only shoot out to 100 yards but it is always right on.

It is decent at 30 to 40ft. Need a bigger IR for longer range. Try the bullet style for that

I agree with Tyler. This is a piece of junk. All that mine is good for is a spotting scope at close range. The cross hairs won't move up, down or sideways. It starts to get fuzzy around 26 power. At 32 I can't make out the target at 100feet much less 500 feet. Don't get excited over the price. It's a wonder the price hasn't been lowered so the inventory will move faster.

This scope is a great match for someone who is looking to shoot longer ranges that is not very familiar with ranging and making elevation all changes. By this I mean basically anything past 300 yards. After the gun is zeroed its as simple as pushing a button to range your target and then using the dot that light up for a dead on hold. One thing to remember is you have to set the scope up for your ammo. Follow the directions, it's easy. Once your done with the set up and zero, it's a dream. You will be glad you have it. Good luck.

The previous answer is a good one. The 30/30 reticle is useful for slow bullets like shotgun slugs etc where range is critical and not so useful for modern high power rifles that usually have a point blank range in excess of 300 yards. (I.e. the bullet trajectory from the muzzle to the point blank range is within 4 inches below or above the line of sight meaning you put the cross hairs right on the target normally close enough for a big game kill)

The range is 800 yards not 600. Practical range depends on caliber and specific hunting use. I use mine for Prairie Dogs on .223 rifles and with that size animal, it is good to 450 and sometimes beyond.
