They are a great .22 LR scope for the money.  Will they stand up to a springer's punishment, I dunno', but I may be fixin' to find out on a XS46U.

Thanks Greg. Thinking about trying it on my Titan. Gotta be better than the one that came with?

I have bought two (maybe three?) of these over the years.  Always installed on .22LR plinker rifles.  All have held zero, and been quite good for their extremely low selling price.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy one for informal plinking.  As far as standing up to springer air rifle recoil, that I don't know since I've never used one on an air gun.  But they're great on .22LR's.

I have a couple of the new 3-9x 22 Mags on rim fires and, to be honest, I am constantly amazed at how good they are for basically a $50 scope. Might be asking a lot, though, for them to hold up on a springer, but can't say I know anyone who tried.
