Archer Pellet Guns

Fit a good scope to your pellet gun and your shooting accuracy will automatically improve. A good scope, also known as telescopic sight, allows you to see the target much more clearly and makes air rifle shooting much more successful for most people. Archer Pellet Guns carries scopes from famous manufacturers including Leapers, Centerpoint, Hawke and Bushnell.

What should you look for in a pellet gun scope? We recommend a scope with AO—an Adjustable Objective—that allows focusing down to 10 yards or less. Otherwise it may be difficult to see the target sharply at close ranges.

 

Scopes designed for use with firearms typically are set to focus at 100 yards, which is too far for pellet gun use.

Airgun-rated scopes—including all the ones in this store—are suitable for the sharp backward and forward recoil of spring air rifles. Scopes designed for firearms will be destroyed by the forward recoil of spring-powered pellet guns. If in doubt, don't use a scope on your air rifle if you're not sure it's designed for pellet guns.

Most of us don't need huge and heavy high-magnification scopes. Such scopes may actually make it more difficult to shoot well, and very high magnifications show every shake and tremor the shooter makes. A 3-9 x 40AO scope is fine, and scopes of this specification are supplied with many of the pellet rifle combos you'll find in this store.

 

It's not hard to mount a scope on a pellet gun and "sight it in" on target. View our instructional videos on YouTube:
