Can this scope handle the recoil of a springer air rifle?

I don't know about your air rifle but It is designed for high powered rifles and it works fine with a .308 cal bolt action rifle.

This scope is meant for REAL GUNS. If you want to put it on an air rifle it should be fine. It's WAY more scope than you need though. I shoot consistent 1.5" groups with this thing at 300 yards with a Marlin 22-250 X7VH

Well I Am Not Sure, But I Have This Scope Mounted On My AR1 And A Buddy Of Mine Had It On His .308 AR10 And My Son Has The Same Scope On His Remington 700 30.06 And All Three Scopes Hold Zero

put mine on qb 78 HPA rifle, so cant speak to its durability against any springer, It IS pretty stout though..........

There are two factors that make this type of Night Vision Scope, not suitable for heavy recoil. First, the adjustment of the scope will not get fixed. Will vary each shot. Second, the chance of burning it is very large. I tested a lot of times and Im sure about that.

I say no. It will fit but it took about 20 shots from my Gamo Whisper G2 and that was about it. Managed a great shot group and zeroed quickly. After that the groups just went all over. I presume because the scope couldn't handle it. I don't see anywhere that says it is designed for "springers" so I wouldn't trust that it is. Plenty say otherwise but my experience is no, don't bother.

My understanding is that this scope is designed for pellet guns that endure a violent "reverse recoil". A regular rifle scope will be destroyed by a high power air rifle. I do not know if it is designed for a conventional recoil. The brand overall is a great value.

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.

Yes, scope weight will allow it to work. It will be an Altazimuth mounting, should work ok!

No it won't. It's NOT an air rifle scope. Using it on an air rifle will destroy it's internal working parts within a dozen shots.

I would have little problem using this scope on a light recoiling hunting rifle, but it would not be my first choice. I have only used this scope on a .22. The eye relief is a little short for a rifle with a little "jump" to it. I would prefer a scope with more forgiveness in the eye relief department so I would not be compromised in a quick shot situation. Any of the Leupolds and High end Nikons and Bushnell Elite scopes would be preferable in my opinion. For a varmint rifle or a nice .22, the Muellers are a great value and very clear.

I have this scope and its really nice, its more like a rubber textured film it very scuff and scratch resistant. Have mine on a savage .270 handles recoil just fine. Nice optic for the price.

This scope has worked well on a. 7.62X51 rifle, it should handle an air rifle with ease.

I have a Go silent Cat springer. It worked fine for a while and now it won't stay zeroed. I would say that it is a great scope for pop guns but not so much for the spring actuated guns due to the extra kick.

Hey Venus C, i don't know,.... have only used it on a 5.56 rifle,but if you email Kruger, i am sure they could answer your question. it is a good solid scope, better than expected for the price.

It held up to the recoil of my 308, 270wsm, and 243 win. I imagine, it shouldn't have any problem holding up to an air rifle. Beware, this thing is huge. It might look a little odd on your air gub

Although this scope is "shockproof" ... airguns have special scopes designed for them for a reason... The recoil is totally different on airguns and the parallax is set for 50 yards.. Not 100 yards like a true rifle scope (as this is)... You should have no problems with this scope at all.

Yes this scope should work well with a .22lr. As an air rifle scope, it is engineered for dual direction recoil. This scope is also popular with AR-15 enthusiasts, likely due to it's affordability, clear optics, and most of all...durability. Just be sure to check your mounts / rail on your gun, you may need different rings to accommodate your rail, and possibly the size of the scope.

I can't say for sure but I have heard a few people saw they had the same scope on a 50 cal and it seemed to do just fine. I can say that the scope is built like a tank and should handle the recoil just fine . I hope this helps .
