Has anyone ever used this to sight in a break barrel air rifle ?

I absolutely bought and used this shooting rest to sight in both my Beeman R7 air rifle and Crosman 2250XE air rifle. The rest is perfect -- well made, virtually indestructible, light, and priced great at Amazon. You need to put it on a table. (I use an old portable folding workbench from Black & Decjer.) Real easy to use and will have you sighted in very quickly. I've also used it for an air pistol I own.

Didnt have it when I did have to sight in my Gamo Whisper, but I did use it to zero my Marlin XL7 in 30-06. It handled the kick from that mule just fine, air rifle should be no issue. As you may already know, break action air rifles actually push forward when they recoil due to the momentum of the piston slamming forward, which will just lock it onto the rest even tighter. My one recommendation is to fill the stand (it has openings for this) with heavy sand or lead shot to add mass and keep it in place better. Mine weighs about 15lbs now, filled with a fine lead shot from sandbag weights.

I used it on a Beeman R1. It eventually (after about 1500 shots) cracked the optics. It was very good and accurate while it lasted; I actually think it was shooting it in the the freezing weather that broke it. Have it on a Beeman R7 for several years now; that has a much lighter recoil. These red dots have much simpler optics than a magnification optical scope and can stand up to the type of abuse an air rifle subjects them to.

Yes a scope can be mounted to the Crosman Optimus Break Barrel Air Rifle, but it has to be high enough for clearance of the Fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight. The scope that is on the gun works very well, you might not want to add a separate scope its a great gun right out of the box.

Not really. Its scoped for hunting rifle and the natural drop of a round and drop of a bb/pellet are not the same. This scope is also fairly large in size and of a significant weight compared to most other scopes. You should look for air rifle specific scopes they are out there and fairly cheap.

I used it on my rifles with muzzle breaks and no problemsWill definitely get you close enough at 50 yrds

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.

I use this on an AK pistol in 7.62x39. With a 10" barrel it kicks harder than a rifle. Sight holds up fine.

It's good for fairly close up, but won't show much past pistol shot. I tried it out of a deer blind and could see at 30 ft or so. It would be a waste on a rifle.

Sean,I havent had an oppertunity to try it on my -10 but a sight is a sight. However, the way you zero it for your weapon changes. I think the Matech website gives the instructions for differnt weapons

I installed one on a pellet gun so it would hold a flash light for shoot rats on my fence next to the bayou. It works great. I have a scope on the pellet gun and the light i have attached lights up the little pest for a clear shot. Would not recommend for a high power rifle though. As you want your barrel touching nothing.

Yes, it should work fine in any break barrel application, as it is a silicone based oil. I use it in my ruger air hawk as well as my crosman vantage. Be careful to only put a couple of drops in the chamber, more is not better.

Mine did not come with a scope and after reading some of the reviews of these air rifle scopes - I'm glad it didn't. I would use a decent low power rifle scope with better optics if I needed one. I find the open sights work very well for the range and game I use this air rifle for at 30 to 50 yards.

Short answer yes, but I would not mount it on a spring air rifle. I have mine mounted in a PCP air rifle, and it works fine, but a regular break barrel or under lever spring air rifle may create too much shock.

Yes, I am currently using this on my .177 cal. air rifle. Note: the laser is difficult to see in daylight. I use mine at night for predators on my farm. It works great.

I have seen it, however due to the short distance between the rings it looks like it could cause ejection issues. I would be more concerned about the eye relief issue as this scope is designed for AR style weapon systems of .22 caliber. For bolt action rifles I would not be comfortable using this scope. I hope this input helps.

The front cone of the laser will center itself in the muzzle break or flash hider. The purpose of any bore sighter is to just get you on paper at 25 or 50 yards. You then sight in the rifle at whatever distance you choose so if the hole in the muzzle break is not perfectly centered or out of round it really doesn't make any difference. I use one of these to bore sight rifles for customers and due to space restrictions I have to bore sight at about 20 feet. I have never had a customer come back saying the sights were very far off.

I bought this and put it on a short barrel AR with a holographic set up. I have yet to sight it correctly. It just can't withstand the recoil, it shakes it to prices. However, to answer your question yes, it should co witness.
