Can this handle the recoil of a shotgun? Short barrel and semi-auto

I have mine mounted on a .22 pistol and haven't has a problem. I cannot speak to the recoil of a shotgun, sorry.

I've had issue with it holding zero on my mini 14 so would be hesitant to put it n anything with more recoil.

I think this would work for air soft with no problems, given that the airsoft rifles I have fired have little if any felt recoil. That said I have not tried it on an airsoft rifle so I cannot be 100% positive.

I'm sure you could, and it would hold up. If it's a pump shotgun it would be difficult to maneuver both the action and push button for low light techniques. If it's a semi auto loader you should be golden...

I think it will probably do fine. For the price it seems pretty well made. i currently have mine on a 9mm carbine but i dont see any reason why it could not handle more recoil.

do you have a good mount? mine works well on my ar but a shotgun hits a little harder. I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

Yea it will handle the recoil, I liked this scope for a while but it isn't nearly as clear as a nikon for a little bit more money

I have a friend that has his mounted on an AK; I suppose the recoil could be an issue, but his apparent works quite well.

Go to the limbsaver website, if it's the right size sure. I know it will handle the recoil fine. But if you are asking me if this is the correct size for your rifle - I don't know. I bought it for my benelli m2 with the comfortech stock. If you can't tell from the website - call them . They are great people to talk to. Very helpful. This thing is magic for taking the kick away.

I have it mounted under all my semi auto hand guns and pictanny rail assault rifles they are recoil resistant thus far no problems. Very bride at 150 lumens!!

I would say no. The stock and rifle is one piece. The stock could be shorten by removing material or made longer like I did by adding a slip on recoil pad.

Yes I have it mounted on a 5.56 with a muzzle brake. Not alot of recoil but more than a .22. You may have a bad switch.

Take it from me... No it will not! The recoil of a standard rifle, rimfire or centerfire is in the opposite direction of an air rifle. The recoil of an air rifle will quickly damage even most expensive scopes. There are inexpensive scopes made for air rifles that are quite good for your needs. Trust me on this.

Didnt have it when I did have to sight in my Gamo Whisper, but I did use it to zero my Marlin XL7 in 30-06. It handled the kick from that mule just fine, air rifle should be no issue. As you may already know, break action air rifles actually push forward when they recoil due to the momentum of the piston slamming forward, which will just lock it onto the rest even tighter. My one recommendation is to fill the stand (it has openings for this) with heavy sand or lead shot to add mass and keep it in place better. Mine weighs about 15lbs now, filled with a fine lead shot from sandbag weights.

Works well on AR and 12ga. shotgun--moves on Glock rails, because of their flexibility, I think. Barska customer support is poor, Amazon great.

I don't see why not. It is semi sticky and I moved to up on my shotgun stock a bit after I had it further back on the stock. Seemed to work ok moving it and left no residue. Good looking but did not, however keep my cheek from becoming bloodied from recoil......obviously the gun does not fit me.

I dont know ..I put it on a .556 rifle and it works great! ....but its also less recoil than a shotgun
