Has anyone tried this scope on a springer air rifle? If so, how did it hold up to the recoil?

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

Not in my opinion. The scope doesnt have enough eye relief for a heavy recoiling rifle. These scopes are a bottom of the barrel optic from a great company, mine had issues out of the box. Wont be buying any more cheap Burris optics. You are better off springing for the US made $300-400 versions from Burris, way better quality and materials than the overseas produced models like this.

I have the scope on a 22, I would worry about how well it would handle the recoil. But for the money it's worth a shot

You have to use the high mounts that come with it. Works nice and the recoil doesn't seam to affect it. If your AR has a handle a lower style mount would be better. The scope is decent for the price. Eye releave works well but have to set for higher magnification and will work better through all magnification adjustments.

I put it on an air venturi Bronco and so far okay. It is supposed to handle the recoil. I haven't put many rounds through mine around a hundred only so maybe someone else with more use will chime in.

What ever scope you use it must be rated for [reverse recoil] due to the spring action of a pellet rifle. What would work on a normal rifle will not hold up on a spring piston air gun.

I have one on my 308 "sniper" and so far no problem.I would advise you to remember you're dealing with an inexspensive Chinese scope and if you have real concerns about real combat applications you might want to invest in a Leupold or other high line scope.

Not very much. Probably due to the short barrel and the design.I am having an issue with inconsistent zero. (scoped model). Scope and mount are tight.Shots are sometimes on the bullseye, but then are about 2 inches off, bothhorizontally and vertically, then closer, etc. without changing the scope zero. (At about 30 ft.). My other Crosman springer (Phantom 1000) is very consistent.

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?

Yes i've used this on an AR and it has worked fine but some low end UTG scopes like this are meant for airsoft applications. Not sure how it would hold up to some of the higher slug loads.

I have this scope on a Beeman R1 and have had zero issues. I've also used one (again without issue) on a Diana 48 which has more punch than the R1.The Sport HD with the illuminated reticle is not recommended for springer guns (Sport HD IR)

The scope is crap, as are most air rifle scopes. Once you get it sighted, the slit east movement will throw it off. I have tried different rifles snd they are all the same - there is no secure rail system to keep it tight. I took mine off and have used the fixed sites, which actually are pretty accurate up to 25 yards.

I put it on a Gamo big cat. I dont know anything about the springers & n/pistons, but I know my gamo kicks hard. It would make it about 20 shots before my previous scope would jump completely off the rails. And not one of those shots would hold a zero.. The CVlife scope has been working great. Dead on everytime. Not a single problem. Holds a zero and is showing no signs of wear.

Anyone use this on the SACR 17 in .308?Looks like an amazing defense, hog hunting and paper punching scope.

Yes this scope will take the recoil. This is a very heavy rugged product. Be careful on the scope height. You will need a way to adjust your cheek weld. The company recommends a 0 moa rail to mount this on. I hope this help you out.

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.
