Can this scope handle the recoil of a break barrel air rifle? 800-1000fps specifically.

I mounted mine on my marlin 795 .22lr. It's been a few months and I've shoot about 500 rounds thru it and it's kept it's zero. So yeah I sure it'll work.

In my opinion, yes. I have tried it on an AR15 platform and it is currently mounted on a .22 rifle. It held up well when fired from both rifles.

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.

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.

Didn't work out for me at all. The mounts on that air rifle was very poor. The scope may work better on a deferent rifle. The scope is not much. But it does not cost much. Don't expect much. You should get a better scope.

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 would have little problem using this scope on a light recoiling hunting rifle, but it would not be my first choice. I have only used this scope on a .22. The eye relief is a little short for a rifle with a little "jump" to it. I would prefer a scope with more forgiveness in the eye relief department so I would not be compromised in a quick shot situation. Any of the Leupolds and High end Nikons and Bushnell Elite scopes would be preferable in my opinion. For a varmint rifle or a nice .22, the Muellers are a great value and very clear.

The muzzle velocity of this air rifle is approx. the same as a standard .22 round at 1200 fps. So a well placed shot to the head I would think would be lethal

I do not think you can the way it was explained to me is the recoils backwards on air rifle like this and it will damage the scope

Yes it should work just fine. This scope is made for the backwards recoil from airguns.

Hi,It sure will work with most of the break barrels. You will need to fix a scope recoil stopper to avoid disassembling of the scope which will affect aiming & accuracy. The scope is quite up to the mark with my break barrel and works just fine.

My understanding is that this scope is designed for pellet guns that endure a violent "reverse recoil". A regular rifle scope will be destroyed by a high power air rifle. I do not know if it is designed for a conventional recoil. The brand overall is a great value.

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

I think so, this scope I have mounted on my mini M 14 rifle, using 223 amo, its kicks kind a hard, first time when was mounted it's just fell of the rifle, had to rebolted much tighter than its was before, no damage to the scope and to this day performs perfect, 100 or 200 yards no problems good scope, I don't know how much shock you want to put it through, but for my rifle performs perfect, BJ.

It will take the recoil but it's a junk sight that I don't recommend. Hard to initially zero, but it holds the zero well. Buy a better sight-you'll be happier..

Sure. I've a similar one mounted on a 308 rifle. I've made shots to 800 meter quite well

Yes, I used them on a Swiss K31 7.5mm 2800fps. This rifle has major recoil.

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

The largest caliber rifle I have used this on is a 7.62x39 AK47. No problem with recoil on that rifle.
