[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1380440, member: 75933"] a lightweight with no brake subjects the scope to a higher acceleration than one with a brake. that acceleration on firing is what really puts the force on the internals. so any way of lessening that force saves the scope. As far as air rifles, I believe that the ones that kill scopes are the spring piston ones. that's because the force isn't backward, it's the forward recoil of the spring that messes with the scopes. It's a weird recoil impulse. [/QUOTE]
