Leapers says "big bore - - long range - - sniper". A seller claims it's only good for pellet guns. Who's right??

I purchased my scope for a Gamo Pellet rifle, a pellet rifle has a reverse recoil that will shack some high priced scope a part. i have shot about 1000 rounds thru the gamo with this scope. the scope is preforming great. I would put this scope on a 300win. I think it will hold up.

I have several of the UTG scopes and they hold up to recoil just fine! I have them on everything from .22/mag/.223/.270. After thousands of rounds in all calibers I have not had a single failure. The lockable/resetable turrets are great when shooting at differant yardages as you can return to your original zero in seconds without firing a shot! I highly recomend them. I can get sub-MOA groups with my AR platform at 100 yds using a 3-12x42, and sub-MOA at 200 yds with a 4-16x56. Solidly built, accurate and affordable! What's not to like?

I think there is a misperception that pellet guns have no recoil. The recoil on some spring piston pellet guns can be pretty severe and can be worse than firearms because the shock is both forward and backward. In fact, pellet guns used to shake apart scopes designed for firearms because those scopes were designed to only take a rearward recoil. Most scopes nowadays are designed to handle both because they don't want to limit their scopes to only one market. If it can take a spring piston pellet gun, it can handle a rifle.Go find this scope on the Leapers website and you can see that they show it being mounted on an Mini-14.

What caliber are you shooting? Don't know the FPS of my pellets, but I shoot a .177 Benjamin Marauder PCP Air rifle (stock, not enhanced) at my littls spinner target. It's about 25 yds away and I'm shooting JSB Diabolo EXACT .177 Caliber Air Gun Pellets - 8.44 gr pellets. These pellts spin and reset the target just fine. Now, I also have the larger spinning target, .made for 22 cal. These .177 pellets won't spin those bigger paddles. And my .22 and .25 Marauders spin the large target paddle and spin the small target paddles like crazy, but I don't know how long the little spinning paddles would last with the bigger pellets striking them - so I only shoot my .177 at the smaller spinner. But like I said, my .177 can spin the small paddles all day long. Hope this helps. Bobby

These pellet guns will kill a man let alone a rabbit. I had a shot with Crossman express pellets go through a bird from the rump to the neck. The pellet traveled a full 5 inches through that bird. I carry mine when I hike, in case a run into a mountain lion. Anything over 1100 fps is faster than the speed of sound, so you get a sonic boom with the prioritized ammo. I used heavy grain lead pellets which drop my shots below the speed of sound - then it sounds like a regular bb gun. That said these weapons are still more powerful than anything I had as a kid, and as I said they will kill you. Note, the brain shot on a rabbit is between the eye and the ear. You hit a rabbit there and they die every time.

You are obviously schooled a little about sniper scopes, and if you're looking to put this on a gun where that would matter (not an airsoft gun) then you are looking at the wrong scope. Search for Super Sniper scopes available through SWA for the cheapest 'sniper grade' real scopes.

Hehe smart charger maybe it will be smart to buy a new charger with a new gun on the side the gun sucks it cant even hit a 20 ft away target the front breaks off easily scope is crap all cheap plastic made from who knows recycled milk jugs? just for the sake of you/ your children/grandchild/uncles,cousins,nephews (think i covered all the categories) dont buy this gun for them or you it sucks and they will be disappointed. Hope this helped and the answer is no xD

50 yards is a long ways for any pellet gun. If you practice holdovers for that range you could keep it on paper. I wouldn't use it on critters at that range. A humane kill should be precise.

Yes,I think they will work better because of the weight of the pellet. The distance may not range as far as a lighter pellet, but accuracy should show a difference at a comfortable distance. I got them for a Benjamin/crosman NP Titan air rifle for accuracy at a range comfortable distance. Like all guns/bows they all have a maximum distance u got to find out how far that is. But the heavier pellet will be better then a light one.

I have had my gun to the range a few times and have shot Crossman, Daises and Gamo pellets. The Gamo master point and Magnum have shot the best . Nice pointed pellet your best bet is to target shoot some with different ammo and see what works best for you . I am going to squirrel hunt with mine this year ,(live in Ohio and it legal here) so I am using a pointed pellet . Hope this helps . Shoot safe and have fun .

I use a pellet rifle and have found it to be the best target that I have and I have a lot of targets. I have it @ 120 to 130 feet and it is very challenging to hit. The best target ever---!!.

it has good range. its hopup unit is one of the best ive ever seen but the gun mis feeds to common so it doesnt shoot steady. great gun for a sniper or cqb but i wouldnt use it for assault in a field game as my first choice. and iron sites suck no rails for a site either

They are in no way whatsoever meant to be used in a hunting shotgun. They are (obviously) meant for a airsoft shotgun. Sorry if I seem sarcastic however this seems very obvious to me.

Best to ask a range instructor or munitions expert about this. I'm not an expert on BB pellets. I only acquired it for a senior citizen friend of mine who wanted some protection but didn't really want to kill anybody (with a real gun).

Kind of a relative question, isn't it? It's a pellet trap. It's made to be shot at with a pellet gun. If you are concern with power of gun then err on the side of caution and get a trap for a .22. I use a 1200 Fps rifle without issue in my backyard, but at a range of 40-60 feet.

I fired ten pellets across my chronograph and they averaged 264.6 fps with a high of 280.3 fps and a low of 245.4 fps with Peak .22 wadcutters, a chinese brand, that average 13.9 grs. I've got the same gun in .177 cal. It avgeraged 302.6 fps, high 339.7, low 268.4, also with Peaks that average 8.6 grs. The guns are Industry Brand S2-1's made by the Shanghi Air Gun Factory. They're fairly accurate. The pellets that come with them make a good paper weight only. I took'em out of the wood stock and without disassembly any further, soaked them in gasoline over night and poured the gas thru them to get that brown packing grease out of them, and let them dry. Then sqiurted a little lube oil in them and cleaned the barrel before I tested them. Don't put petrolem based oil in the compression chamber. Good shooting, later! (Rosemary is my wife)

To be honest, I don't know. Actually I haven't been to the range yet to zero this scope. The 'sniper' concept behind it seems valid. But the proof is in the pudding. Not much help I know, but what I've read on this scope, and the Sweet 17 one too, has all been good.

I think only a perfect close range hit would produce a humane kill, and I don't think these have the accuracy or power to do it. I have only found the cheap target bolts that aren't made for hunting.

These pellets definitely hit hard, but you need the power for them. An air rifle with >20 fpe (PCP) is pretty much required to keep from lobbing these pellets too much. You could give an 18.13 gr Jumbo Heavy Exact pellet a try before you jump up to these beasts. Check out Hawke's Chair Gun application to check out down range energy and trajectories. You will get 90% kinetic energy and 80% velocity at ~ 30 yards (~500 fps.) with a 20 fpe gun.
