I got this scope for an air rifle, but it could wind up on my Winchester .270. Is it strong enough for centerfire? Got it for a song!

Yes I have had this scope on calibers from 338 Lapua to 22mag and it always holds zero. Sometimes getting ones sighted in is a challenge but once it's there it holds.So yes put it on your 270 you won't regret it. In response to the guy that said get some better mounts, the mounts that came on my scopes I have three of these are as strong and as good as any high $ name brand mounts I have owned. Sometimes a name on a product is what sells it even if the product is adverage.

I had one of these on a centerfire riflr and the scope was fine. I would replace the mounts that came with the scope and get some better quality ones.

Absolutely. I have one on a 30.06 and one on a 22-250 of mine. Hold zero and are great scopes!!!

I have mine on a Savage 308 & it's fine. I bought their AR scope for my son.

I have mounted this scope on two 22 rifles and the customers have been satisfied with the results . You will need to have a picatinny rail on the gun to mount the scope and if it does there should be no problem with this type of scope on the air soft gun, plus the price is reasonable

hello I am using a bushnell scope at the moment for a small caliber rifle. It is not holding up to the recoil of the hornet. I have some friends that do a lot of hunting with high power air rifles and they all use this one in the link I am purchasing one myself. I hope this helps Crosman CPA416AORG2 Centerpoint 4-16x40mm Riflescope

This scope retains light great. The thing I like about low light conditions is the lighted crosshairs. The crosshair right in the center only can be lighted in red. I have mine on a 270 and it does great. I don't see where a 22 mag would be a problem at all.

Yes this scope will be fine on you air rifle I have it on my pellet gun which shoots 1200 fps and I can hit a black dot on a piece of paper that's how accurate it is

This base was designed for use on an AR platform and specifically for the Nikon M-223 scope. Having said that, I have one mounted on a Colt AR chambered in .223 with a Simmons scope. It is a solid mount and should be able to take the heat from a larger caliber. Looking at the one I have, it is as strong a looking mount as some of the $200+ mounts I have seen. I like mine. If your base will hold, this should stay put with it.

At first I thought I received a broken one, turns out the mount was bad, so far it has held up on a .308 Zastava AK for over six months. I fire the gun about every other week shooting at least 100 rounds through it. So the tiny .223 should not be a problem.

I have this scope on a 270 Weatherby and it seems to be holding just fine. The "zero" has not changed in the past year or shooting of approximately 120 rounds.

This scope is tuff and can handle any .308 with ease. Believe it or not, the glass is quite bright. However, it's a "tactical scope" meaning it very heavy having been built to withstand punishment. Second, the mildot crosshairs are "thick" good for tactical work not fine enough for match shooting.

If you find mounts for the rifle it will work but I think it's over kill. There are some excellent scopes that are lighter and made for .22 and air rifles. I'd give one of them a try.

Hi, the answer is yes, I have this scope on my 270 and have had no problems what so ever. It's the only scope I use on all my rifles. I just put one on my Apex 45-70 and it does the job. I love Nikons period. Jim

I have mounted it on my AK 47 and it seems to be holding up realy well. i shoot about 200 rounds and it held the ajusment. NICE I got it for a rifle I am putting together to make a sniper rifle, a mosin nagant with a archangle stock. I figured I would try it on my AK and if it could handle it it might be able to withstand the Nagant, we'll see

Yes i've used this on an AR and it has worked fine but some low end UTG scopes like this are meant for airsoft applications. Not sure how it would hold up to some of the higher slug loads.

My scope works fine. Anybody that wants to shoot further than a few hundred yards with a .223 should maybe get a more powerful rifle and scope.

This scope is meant for REAL GUNS. If you want to put it on an air rifle it should be fine. It's WAY more scope than you need though. I shoot consistent 1.5" groups with this thing at 300 yards with a Marlin 22-250 X7VH

I use it with a spotting scope (about 3#) and it is plenty strong enough. The head controls are a little more challenging to be steady but it is suppose to be a lightweight compact stand.
