    Posted: October/07/2015 at 10:26

Will the fixed power SS scopes work on an air pistol? I'm looking for a 16x to 20x for a 46M air pistol for air silhouette and just wondering if they are meant to be used on air guns.  I've got an old Bushy on it now but would like to upgrade to something with more repeatable turrets and maybe a little better glass. 

Any thoughts on this subject?

They have parallax adjustment down to 10 yards.  So They would be a good choice for air guns. 
Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

I put a SS 3-9 on a GAMO once just to see what she would do..... held up fine for months and tracked true.   Its back on my 308 now and has never given me a hiccup, and it was one of the first 3-9 SS's made, serial #8 I believe.
