Hi! Can this be used for hunting with airguns? If not, or if not the best one, what is the best that can most fit for me? Targets closer than 100yrd.

you can use them for anything, golf, hunting etc. anything where you want to find how far away it is.

I have this one and it performs perfectly I love it and yes it it range things up close and u can use it to range for your airgun

I own one. At 30 yards or less, you should have no poblem taking down a deer. If you want a highly accurate one, spend the money on an Excalibur Phoenix. I have one of them as well.

First, I will not shoot bbs in mine, as I'm afraid it might damage the rifling. My air rifle likes Crosman pointed pellets (also called Crosmand Hunters), and Winchester round nose. It does pretty well with the Destroyer EX pellets also. With a good scope and shooting from a rest at 10 yards, this gun can give you 1/4" groups measured center to center consistently. Very accurate for a gun priced this low.

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.

This scope is best mounted on a 0 MOA rail. With is set up this scope will go form 100 yrd to 1120 yards with the turn of one dial. It took a while to get it set up and to understand and it works great. I took 3 other very experienced shooters to the range and they were hitting bull eyes with less than .5 moa at 200 yards with 3 shot groups shooting the rifle for the first time.. I take it to the 1000 yard range that has plates at 150, 250 300 500 750 and 1000 yards. This scope hit them all with a simple turn of the dial. Keep in mind it is not a long range target scope, but is intended to hit an 18" target all the time at any distance from 100 - 1120. This is designed to bracket and shoot at unknown distance. This is a very tall scope and I recommend a stock with cheek riser for final adjustment. The optics are clear and bright. Mine is mounted on a 700 in a Accuracy Int stock. The turrets will hold dope on up to 5 different bullet weight. I shoot 168 for long range hunting and 150 for targets. I would strongly recommend this scope for someone that does not want to spend time with dope calculators. There are many great youtube video to confirm and help you make a final choice.

I used it with an AR-15 and 44 magnum revolver. It is pretty small so a 12 gauge may not be best suited for this target. I would look for something larger for a target for the 12 gauge, even with "0" or "00" buckshot. Good shooting!

I bought this for a .22 benjamin np xl 1100 that shoots a 14.3 grain pellet about 1100 feet per second and one of the targets fell off. The targets are barely tacked on. My brother does a lot of hunting and he said lower velocity rounds might be ok if you weld the targets on better. No guarantees though. Hope that helps.

I have never had it on a air rifle but it says it can be used for large caliber rifles. On the other hand it works perfect for my Remington 10/22 rifle can take rabbits at 100yards with it. And had no problems with it on my Nagant rifle which is is 7.62x54r . I shoot alot in the desert and it works great in the bright sun and also in the early mornings and late afternoons in low light also. So any air rifle it should work on just great. I believe it says in manual some where that it is good on a rifle up to a 460 but it has been awhile since I read it.

There are lots of opinions on that. Stick with the same length and weight bolt that comes with it (can't remember exact specs at the moment.) I've shot a few different types of 100 gr. broad heads and all flew with the same degree of accuracy.

Not for hunting. It uses BB's and pellets, but the muzzle velocity is very low (weak); about 350 fps. Good enough for shooting paper targets and cans for fun and target practice.

Would be a PCP style air rifle run off of compressed air tank and all the compamys make them. If you are looking for a more portable rifle for hunting try looking at the nitro piston air rifles they may be what you are looking for as for manufacturer's I would go with Gamo or Crosman.

I can tell you this scope has done a great job for me. I have used it hunting antelope in Wyoming! The closest was just under 650M that I shot from a mound overlooking a very large range. The wind was crossing from left to right and I adjusted for windage and elevation and it only took one shot for a 14in pronghorn. I hope this will make your choice.

That will depend entirely on the weight of the pellet. The gun is rated at 1650 fps with lightweight PBA ammo. I would not recommend using that as it can damage the gun internally. I would go for something 10 grains or heavier, that should bring the velocity down into a more acceptable and more accurate range. Thanks Pyramyd Air Team

I can't speak from experience but I would guess that some of the nicer/more powerful air soft guns could work. I wouldn't recommend it but if you try it, wear safety glasses because the plastic pellets will bounce back at you if they hit the black portion, unlike an air rifle pellet. Have fun!

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.

Depends on the game? Small game like squirrels,rabbits,raccoon's,and birds.Yes! Medium to large game like pigs,boars,deer,bears,and humans.No!Its accurate as is at 25 yards with a scope or red dot 50-75 max.If your looking for something to hunt small-medium game i would suggest Benjamin Marauder .22 or equivalent .22 or higher P.C.P.(precharged pneumatic) rifle. Any questions dont hesitate to ask? Sincerely,Mr.Vreeland-AkA: (The Stach) ;})
