is this scope air rifle piston friendly?

I do not know. I purchased but returned my Hawke Eclipse, I had purchased a Hawke Sidewinder prior to the Eclipse, and found it to be a much better quality and feel then the Eclipse.

They are supposed to be but I had mine on a PCP so I have no first had experience. With that said, I would take a look at a Falcon (Menace) scope or a Primary Arms (4-14x44 $230) scope. These scopes are very good scopes with first focal plane which is a must in my book. Falcon makes a 4-14 and a 5.5-25. I have the 5.5-25 and its a fantastic scope. I would not trade it for any Hawke scope.

As long as it fits nice and snug next to the piston it should be fine, but word to the wise when it comes to firearms make sure the gun is 100% safe before taken it out in the field.

it should be fine. it's not completely tall enough, but with a scope the worst you might get is a slight blurring of the sight at the bottom of it. most likely you will not see it. I eventually removed the front sight block and but a gas block with a short rail section on, I wanted offset sights so I could tilt the rifle and use iron sights if the shot was to close.

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

At this power level with a wood stock and gas ram, it's the only choice. The trigger can be helped or replaced, the scope may not last because this is a true magnum air rifle. But after break in and the learning curve - yes.

Yes, the mounting rings are adequate for break-barrel air rifles. With that said, I prefer a 4-screw mounting arrangement.

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

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.

Assuming the 3/8" dovetail mount, you should be very happy with this scope. I can't speak to it's weather proofing, but I haven't experienced any problems with mine. A very clear image with a decent range of adjustments. The eye relief is generous allowing for a nice range of scope placement options. For the proce, it is a good airgun scope. I've used mine at both .177 cal and .22 cal with stable solid performance.

Absolutely. Just test it first. I'd probably use a shotgun/muzzle loader scope instead due to the similarities in vibration.

Yes it should be fine. You just have to make sure the air rifle can have rings mounted on it. Then just make sure you buy the correct rings

Yes. The scope is actually sprung airgun rated which means it can hold up to pretty serious and eccentric recoil. It can be used on most rifles with no issues.

I was told at the gun store where I purchased the pellet rifle that a standard rifle scope would not hold up under the stress this piston fired rifle puts out. It takes a scope designed to be able to take the vibration. They say it would destroy the cross hairs in the standard rifle scopes. Didn't know if this scope had anything that heavy vibration would knock loose.

I use it on a British Enfield that has comprable recoil. Yes, I would recommend it. It is a good value for this quality of a scope.

This is a very very acccurasy. I use the crosman premier hollow point and domed...this is a best air rifle for small hunting...I loved this rifle...

Well it's airgun rated which pretty much clears it for all rifles, airguns have a double recoil and that is much harder on a scope than powder burners. You should have no problems at all. Now Hawke scopes have great warranties so should scope be a problem in manufacturing they will replace it. Hope this helps.

lol I have this on a .308 keltec rfb which kicks way harder than the air rifle. it will be fine. very good scope btw.
