Does anyone out there knows if this scope will hold zero on an air rifle with around 1000 feet per second and faster? I have a scope that works well on my 22 LR. The same scope will not hold zero on Gamo silent stalker IGT. After 15, 20, 25 shots I...

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

That is true. I had trouble keeping a zero on scope as it is mounted on the receiver and you have to cock it by moving the barrel every shot. Sure you know it doesn't take much to change your impact point. There are probably better and more accurate set ups on the market but are not as reasonably priced.

I returned the scope. It was a well built Really nice scope but I put it on a barnett rc 150 and it WOULD NOT zero on my bow. My bow it hitting close to 300 fps and this scope should have worked I wish it would have because I really liked it. Maybe I just got a defective one.it was too close to deer season for me to keep messing with it so I just put my old scope back on and re zeroed it.

Mine did not come with a scope and after reading some of the reviews of these air rifle scopes - I'm glad it didn't. I would use a decent low power rifle scope with better optics if I needed one. I find the open sights work very well for the range and game I use this air rifle for at 30 to 50 yards.

I have mine on a bushmaster ar15 and it holds zero perfectly fine. As far as fitting your airgun I'm not sure.

I purchased this rifle as a beginner to the air gun hobby, and found it difficult to maintain scope zero due to the recoil and poor construction. It will work fine for a few hundred shots, but everyone I know who has purchased Gamo rifles has had this problem. Yes a 15yr old should be able to cock the gun!

Mine has so far. holding zero is also dependent on your scope mount. so buy a good mount like the BRASS STACKER.

I have bought 4 of these scopes. 3 were fitted to .22 rifles - after about 3 months the reticle came loose in one, the other 2 are going strong after about 500 rounds each. I have a forth on a Lee Enfield .303, I have only fired 30 rounds, over 3 sessions, but it has held zero so far - sorry I can't give you a better set of numbers . The 3 surviving scopes have all held zero and I have been pleased with them. At 75 yds I can put the .22s into a inch hole all day long. If you have any doubts I would suggest paying $200+ for something like a Leupold, better to spend 200 than waste 70 .... at the end of the day you only ever get what you paid for - but you might just get lucky!

Can't really answer that with any honesty.... It's fixed to my 22. So I have no idea how it would do? What I can say, is that: at the time of the review I wrote, till now; nothing has changed, still holding zero beautifully. Not to mention, that if you want this type of optic, what choice do you have in the $100 range?

Yes! I was at the range yesterday and that's actually one of the best ways to zero in the scope. Hold the AR rifle steady on a sandbag or whatever , aim at the target say 100 yards using the peep sight ,you then set your cross hair on that target....that easy, works for me. Oh and the mildot ?

Have it mounted on a Gamo hornet .177 and have it zeroed at 30 yards and shooting 10.5 grain crossman premier domes. Is good to about 45 yards then starts dropping off. Being it's a mill dot scope at 75 yards I hold over 3 dots and am spot on. Hope this helps as I have been very happy with scope.

this is not able to hold zero on anything larger than a 223. I installed this on my AR10 and after trying to zero I figured out that the scope was not the problem it was the levers that attach the mount to rifle were coming loose. I would get the regular mounts with the Allan wrench attachments or the flat head attachments.

I have this scope mounted on a Springfield SOCOM M1A (16" barrel). Holds 0 perfectly fine. ZERO should not be a problem as long as you sight it correctly. If using NIKON BDC, set your target to 100 yards and adjust scope. You should be good to go.

The gun I put the scope on was a gamo shadow fox 1250 that shot about 850 fps with the lead pellets I was using and didn't make it past ten shots. The reverse recoil just tore it up as well as 4 other low end scopes. I put a Bushnell on it and it holds up.

I have two of these. One is on a .177 air rifle and one is on a .22 LR rimfire rifle. I have had no issues with either one holding it's setting. I am very pleased with the quality of this scope.

Right now my son has a small 4x scope mounted with only 1 to get it far enough back on a bolt action .22. It holds zero and was making a 3" group at 75 yards. On a larger caliber with more recoil you may have trouble but for our application it works.

I mounted my Accushot scope on a Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme 177 caliber to test the strenght of the internals of the scope. After 750-1000 rounds it still is very accurate at 40 yards. After my test, I would not mind putting it on a 300 win mag. As a hunting scope in low light conditions it is good for the money. I like the lighted rec.
