Default Pellet rifle scope

I have a Beeman GS700 pellet rifle and am interested in putting a scope on it. Any suggestions on brand, accuracy, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks

Regardless of brand or model make very sure that it's rated for spring piston air rifles, that reverse recoil is punishing, and will destroy normal scopes. Standard air rifle scopes won't last long either. The folks who sold you that Beeman should have appropriate optics for it as well, if not then seek out a Beeman or other springer dealer.

Greetings wetpwdr53,

I would recommend browsing Pyramyd Air's site. They deal strickly in air rifles and accessories.

I have purchased numerous items from them. More recently I purchased a Leapers 4-16x56 scope. It is magnum spring rated, so there will be no issue with using it on any spring air rifle.

Personally, I like the Leapers scopes. The one I purchased has performed very very well and has good optics.
