How close will it focus for use with air rifle?

the nob on the rifle says fifteen yards. but i think this scope is a little overkill for an air rifle.

It will focus out to as far as you can see. From 10yards to "infinity" but yeah few hundred yards is more like it. Unless you are putting it on a high power PCP Air gun then its really too much scope.

It has a max of 24x zoom and is clear all the way. More than enough for any air rifle. I had it on my AirForce Condor as well as my Remington 700. Its a great scope.

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.

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.ThanksPhil

I'm afraid I can't say positively; it's on a flat top with a gas block front base to keep the line of sight clear of obstructions. I put Midwest Industries folding front and rear sights on and it co-witnesses them but low in the Aimpoint's field of view. I would think, in use with a normal height front sight, it would be more towards center.

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 use this scope on mostly 22 caliber rifles if it fits the rifle I see no reason that it should not be just as sufficient when used on an air rifle

Yes but if you focus the NVG's for close range it will not be clear if you look up and far away. I use mine Hog hunting and I do use them walking in and out of the stand. The only issue I have is if I try to look out past about 40 yards when they are focused at close range.

I'd say mine is accurate to within 40-50 feet. Good for a pistol or a shotgun, maybe a bull pub rifle. Outside that you can literally twist the sight and watch the red dot make a circle on the wall so I don't think they are very aligned within the housing. However at the distance I mentioned above you can get sighted in decently. Highly suggest if using to approximate the point of aim, that you follow up with a trip to a range to fine tune it.

I bought this air gun about six months ago, and I'm extremely happy with it. As long as you have the right mounting brackets, it will work. Mine is extremely accurate to about 50 yards, depending on the wind. I recommend using the heavier grade bb's. I don't know if it's more accurate than the standard AEG because I don't own a standard AEG, but the accuracy of my rifle is outstanding.

I see no problem. I would use a higher power version(6X16 or higher) since your range will be a lot further than an air rifle.

So far it has a good distance with just .12 BBs, but I suggest you buy from pyramid air. Not from this seller now. Accuracy is amazing as well

Do not use a scope that is not designed for a air rifle you will damage it. Spring piston air rifles recoil in reverse and the scope was not designed to work that way. BSA makes a decent air rifle scope that holds perfect zero

Yes, just remember that this scope has an adjustable objective so you will have to rotate the end till it comes into focus.

It would be a great scope for that, works well on my .22 rimfire, so an air rifle would be no problem. You will almost certainly need different scope rings.

Take it from me... No it will not! The recoil of a standard rifle, rimfire or centerfire is in the opposite direction of an air rifle. The recoil of an air rifle will quickly damage even most expensive scopes. There are inexpensive scopes made for air rifles that are quite good for your needs. Trust me on this.

Yes this headband magnifier will be in good focus at 18 to 24 inch range. I am happy with mine. I spread butterflies using mine. I have no focus problems at 24" or much closer. For the price this magnifier is as good or better than much more expensive one.

I have it on a rifle and it will focus at 20 yards but I have never tried it at close distance as I still have iron sights on the rifle, thank you.
