RE: Pellet gun scope problems
Pellet guns are hard on scopes because of their "double recoil." I'm not sure exactly how it works or what causes it. I cant find anything about the pellet guns double recoil because there is another version in other guns.
What i know is this: Once you squeeze the trigger you have to "fallow through" your shot because of how slow the pellet comes out of the barrel. The recoil moves the barrel and then the pellet is coming out. Then something causes more movement while the pellet is still coming out of the barrel. I know the movement comes from the firing mechanism but I don't know anything about that part of the gun.
So, once all of this happens you have double recoil. This is why pellet guns are a great way to practice marksmanship.
