Q:

Scope question?????

With AF guns can you use any rifle scope or do you have to use an air gun scope? I know on my rws I had to use a air gun scope because of the recoil.

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking but wasn’t sure. Huge help thanks again

Hey Bowdeadly…..you can use any good quality (or not) scope on an AirForce rifle as they are PCP and have little to no recoil.

The airgun scopes suited for your RWS and other springers are built to compensate for both a sharp forward backward motion. This type of recoil is unlike a firearm recoil which is a backward motion only.

So to the best of my knowledge that is what an ‘airgun scope’ is….something made to sustain a springer’s unique recoil.

Because PCPs don’t recoil you can use any scope. I would suggest getting one with an adjustable objective that will focus at ranges closer than 50 yards.
