well ive never had a centerfire rifle scope that wouldnt survive any of my +15 ft/ib air guns. i have had blow out a number of bushnell scopes (2 elite 3200's and 1 legend) on my hatsan mod. 55, but that gun ive hot rodded to the point where i dont think anything will survive sitting ontop it for more then a month. i cant name many 15 ft/ib airgun scopes that were airgun only, they all seem to be designed to at least work have decently on a rifle. but obviously you cant use a rimfire or sub 8 ft/ib airgun scope on a rifle. what kind of scope were you thinking of anyway?
