    When we bought our piston .25 feller told me only use a scope made for air rifles.

    100% CO2 and PCP guns are fine with any scope you choose (generally rimfire scopes or dedicated air rifle scopes are best due to the ability to focus at very short range on high magnification. Piston guns like spring and gas ram recoil differently and will trash non-airgun specific scopes.

    I put a tasco varmint 2.5-10 with mil dots on my nitro piston 22 cal Walther talon. I've put over 3,000 pellets through it and it is still working great and never lost its POA. Best $24.99 shipped on a close out I ever spent! Bought a couple at that price before they were all gone. I can clearly focus at 15' or closer on 10x. Had it on my 35 rem previously and worked great. Have one on a 452 cz ultralux and one set aside. Probably will go on my save 24F.

    I think both Tasco and Bushnell for a while were rating some of their lower end scopes for air rifles. Not 100% sure which and I wouldn't want to try it with a higher end scope without being sure. That said, the high end air rifle scopes are getting very nice.
