Has anyone tried this on a magnum spring piston airgun...if so, how well does it hold up to the recoil?

It will hold up good I have it on my 308 win but I would get something better

ya it orite I wouldn't say its really good but I used it pretty good especially with the changing of lens color kinda cool

I have it mounted on a AR so the recoil isn't as bad as a shotgun. I did drop a couple fimes already and it still worked. For $25 Its ok. I am planning on getting a higher end one eventually but for now it serves it purpose. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

I have tried it. It fits well and works well. The only problem I have had with it, is that it scratched the finish of the gun. Although only minor and mostly my fault because I was not careful installing it.

it's been a while since i had one. it'd be best to verify that the mfr or importer warrants that the scope will withstand airgun recoil or they will repair or replace it. some do, and some don't. you wouldnt want to be left with no recourse if it can't stand up to the hatsan.

Yes, not a problem....I did find that the recoil on my "forty" shuts it down if I'm running rounds through it while punching paper. Have read that I need to lengthen the battery spring a bit to solve the problem. You can look up responses on the net.

I have mine mounted on an M&P10; (308). The recoil seems to give the firedot a little problem as mine blinks out occasionally and needs to be turned on again? I have mounted it on my AR15 platform with no problems. It might just be my scope and it may be a defect. However the scope has great optics.

Works the best out of ALL ( 6 ) that I have tried ,GAS PISTON , or PCP , are the best . PCP no recoil but $$$$$ !

think recoil would quickly ruin it. there are some at the same price or less that I have found that mount on the barrel an legs rotate up out of the way when not in use that would work better

Pretty good. I put it on a 12 guage, and it holds up fairly well. Would be good for a bb gun, a bit bulky, but still good.

I put this on my 12 GA Mossberg 500 with 20" barrel and it has held just fine. I have had the scope on there since around January of this year and I have shot slugs, 00 Buckshot, 3" Turkey loads, bird shot, etc. and it has held zero the entire time. I love this scope and I don't see you having a problem with the recoil. I should note that I do have my shotgun customized with a ATI talon pistol grip and adjustable stock system which does take a lot of the recoil away. They have those for the Remington 870 also if you are interested. I hope this helped. Let me know if I can answer anything else.

Michael, I understand the chamber lube is designed for springer use. However, I don't see any harm in using it on an air piston rifle for barrel cleaning and pellet lubrication (if you choose to do this). To initially clean a barrel, I use a 1/8" wooden dowel rod for my .177" barrel. Over the tip I place small pieces of cotton padding (Like women use for make-up removal. I get ~80 per pack at the local dollar store and cut each patch into a bunch of smaller pieces) to make a snug but not too tight fit. I run those through the barrel (starting where you load the pellet) until they come out pretty clean. Then, I put a drop or so of chamber lube oil down the barrel and continue running cotton patches through it. A bunch of them. I keep checking the barrel until it is absolutely clean. Spotless clean with no junk residue on the white cotton patches. Once the barrel is clean, consider cleaning and lubricating the pellets. I didn't at first and after ~ 75 shots the barrel was pretty dirty. So, I cleaned it again. Spotless. And, I washed the pellets. Put 250 or 500 in a plastic cup with hot washer and dishwashing liquid soap. Swish the soap around some, and pour the pellets into a strainer (another find at the local dollar store), rinse well, and dry. To dry, I leave mine in the strainer, place in direct sunlight for a few hours to dry ... shifting the pellets around several times to ensure all the water is drained from the pellets, and put the pellets into a small plastic container (or back into the original container). On the inside of the top of lid, I put two drops of the chamber lube oil, close the lid and roll the pellets around inside the container. Done. Shoot. Enjoy. No dieseling. Barrel stays clean and very lightly lubricated. Don't know that this improves accuracy (I'm still working on breaking in the gun), but it sure keeps the fingers and barrel clean. Hope this helps. ...

I bought 2 of these for my Taurus PT1911s. Have had no problems what so ever. They do aid in recoil reduction and have held up fine having over 300 rounds put through each.

Works really good on my AR 10 308 cal . I have fired well over 100 rounds { semi-auto} and it holds it zero ....l

If you have a spring piston air gun, do not lubricate piston or spring with anything but airgun oil. It's non-flammable/non-combustible. Dieseling can occur with the wrong oil, possibly damaging the air rifle.

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.

I installed it on the Magpul version of the 870 (synthetic fore end and stock) with no issue on the receiver as intended. Took a while to "loosen" up the individual shell holders (just load/unload it a bunch), but it works great now. Retention seems to be spot-on. If you bought extended bolts/hardware I would imagine you could mount directly to the stock, but I didn't do it this way, and I would think it might be kind of awkward.

I'd suggest checking to ensure all screws are tight, cleaning the barrel and (if those don't resolve the issue) replace the scope. Airguns are notoriously hard on scopes because of the unusual recoil pattern. I'm also going to be replacing my trigger. Probably not the reason for your CHANGE in performance but a better trigger is definitely needed on this gun.
