Is this scope suitable for air rifles?

your scope is not suitable unless you get it re-paralaxed 10yds to infinity is what you require unless using fac and shooting over 30yds

Agreed. The scopes focus is set for what is considered to be an legal limits upper range. Closer shots will be more difficult depending on how blurred the image is.

How on earth can you say that when hundreds if not thousands of people shoot with fixed PX scopes set for 100yds

Thanks for the swift replies lads.

I also heard somewhere that shooting a legal limit air rifle with a scope that's parallaxed from 30 yards to Infinity Is ok so long as the magnification Is turned down. Not sure If that's true though. Hence my enquiry on this topic 🤔

set it to 30 yards and leave it there.... job done. plenty shoot airguns the fixed pa scopes set to 30 and its fine. like every HFT comp

Is that the case even If the rifle Isn't used for competition shooting. I don't shoot HFT, only pest control.

mate, it'll be fine. the only exception is if you are shooting very close up, say less than 15 yards. Even then, at 3x mag, it will still be fine, but you will have some parallax error. with a 30 yardd PX, 20-40 yards is near as makes no, unless you are using 20+ mag. At say 10 mag, no issues at all.

Best thing you can do is ignore my advice, and any other for that matter, and set yourself up some card targets at 10-40 yards. Set you scope to 30 yards PX, your mag to whatever you like but no more than 10, and shoot some groups at each range. You will quickly determine if it's suitable for hunting at those ranges, whether the clarity is acceptable, etc. And as a bonus you get to work out you holdover points for loopy sub 12 airguns
