Can I or should I use a standard rifle scope on a PCP? I have not found a direct answer in search but then again I am a low-tech redneck. Looking at a DAR Gen 3.
Pcp you don't need a special scope like you do with spring guns.Can I or should I use a standard rifle scope on a PCP? I have not found a direct answer in search but then again I am a low-tech redneck. Looking at a DAR Gen 3.
Apparently now you can use a rifle scope on a brake barrel.Can I or should I use a standard rifle scope on a PCP? I have not found a direct answer in search but then again I am a low-tech redneck. Looking at a DAR Gen 3.
I think this is a bit overstated. Most of my break barrels have normal rifle scopes on them and none of them have an issue. Most semi decent scopes these days seem to be reasonably powered "springer rated"You should NOT use a rifle scope on a brake barrel.

So have I but they've all been cheap Walmart specials. I've got Hawkes, Athlons, Vortex, Burris, and one Leupold on most of my springers. No issues except for with the one Hawke Sidewinder which was specifically advertised as springer rated. Hawke took care of it quick and painlessly though and no problem since. One Athlon has been on a 350 Magnum, a 23fpe D56 scope killer extraordinaire, and now sits on a power tuned HW80. It refuses to die.I have seen socopes to be broken by brake barrels.
You ought to be right.So have I but they've all been cheap Walmart specials. I've got Hawkes, Athlons, Vortex, Burris, and one Leupold on most of my springers.

Like I said, I think that its just overstated and really isn't as big of a deal as it once was. Scopes seem to have gotten much better over the years.
Chad from american airgunner/airgun advisor has been liking the tract optics. Hes been looking at a models for hft and been talking with them for ones better suited for it.Absolutely. This is a Tract rimfire scope. I put it on my guns for squirrel season because its parallax is set perfect for squirrel distances. Got tired of the parallax wheel thing. It’s also lighter than feather. Just get tired of lugging around a scope with an airgun attached to it? Definitely look at all the scopes out there. Not just the ones the airgun industry promotes.
