[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1626291, member: 78056"] Entopics, what you heard about air guns is at least partly true. It all depends on the type of airgun. The ones hard on scopes are the "springers," such as my RWS 45. It's a break action spring gun and the recoil is opposite a centerfire rifle. At around 900+ fps (.177 pellets) it takes around 35 to 40 pounds to cock! I've managed to break every scope I've ever put on it, including RWS airgun scopes. I had the internal lenses fall out of a Leupold 2 x 7 and sent it back to them. They returned it, all fixed & leak checked but explained that no regular rifle scopes will survive on this type of airgun because of the way the lenses are installed. Some airguns, such as the gas guns, have normal direction (or virtually no) recoil, so any scope will work just fine. Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
