Solid,balanced, and very accurate with the right ammo.Try several types and you will be extremely pleased after the break-in.

No. The scope is really crummy and the atock feels cheap. The whole NP mechanism is good, but the trigger is reeaallly bad.
982307
NO in fact i tried two rifles and was unable to sight either one in amazon was very good about sending me a second rifle but it to was junk I own a 22 cal rifle kinda the same gun but not the xl looks the same this gun i am very happy with i am shooting less than dime groups at 25 yards and have shoot over a 5000 round with this gun stay away from xl 177 i got pissed and just gave it to the niebor kidthey tell me cant keep a scope on it it just breaks them i to tried some high dollar air rifle scopes got maybe 25 round before the broke

At this power level with a wood stock and gas ram, it's the only choice. The trigger can be helped or replaced, the scope may not last because this is a true magnum air rifle. But after break in and the learning curve - yes.

Well it would work great butt and is a good scope but it has pre measured mil dots on recital for .223 ballistics .meaning you don't have to adjust scope for yardage you just use lower dot on cross hairs for determined range of target so your sighted in from 100 to 500 yards without moving elevation on scope. 7.62x39 has a different drop in trajectory thus making mil dots Un affective but if sighted in to your ak at a hundred yard you can adjust elevation on scope to your yardage specifications but yes its a great scope but I would check out other options for 7.62x39 caliber. Hope this helps try maybe a vortex crossfire 2 or weaver kaspa same basic price just set up for open range of calibers.

I haven't started loading rifle ammo on my new loader yet. I am cutting my teeth on loading .45 ACP. With that being said, the best recommendation I can make is that you go to youtube.com and search for .223 reloading. There is lots of information for other reloaders on that site. And you won't regret doing the research.

I suggest the splatter targets, since they leave a bigger signature and the .223 is a smaller caliber---a 100yards is about max with that scope

Jim, I mounted this scope on my .300 BLK and I have about 1,000 round through it and it hasn't moved. I sighted it in the day I got it and haven't adjusted it since and it's always been dead on. I know .308 is a little more recoil but I think you should be fine with it. I've tested this scope pretty thoroughly. Good luck, hope you get it.

I would definitely go with the M85. Its looks and feels so real. Shootung accuracy has been precise and loading ammo is very easy. Would not pass this gun up.

It can handle any fps a small caliber can deliver. 22., 17hmr, etc. I haven't shot .223 bullets at it yet. I bought it for pellets, and it barely turns over.So this thing is made for bullets. Happy Shooting...

I have both .177 and 22 cal love them. However depending on how you plan on using your rifle I suggest 1st. get rid of the crappy scope. I installed a UTG 3X9x40 with illuminated GBR mill dot reticle around $70.00 (Optical Planet). Second replace the trigger with a GTX adjustable $30.00 (Air Guns of Arizona) you will be amazed with the difference. If you have to make a choice go with the trigger. I am thinking about adding a sling as these rifles are heavy which is good.Please let me know how things work out.Semper FiMolon Labe CHS USMCL

This is a fairly strong mount. But a .308 kicks a good deal more than a 223. You are probably good to use it, but I better it is worth spending a little more to be sure.

I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle. As long as you are not shooting from too far a distance, and your shot placement is good, you should have no problems taking down a ground hog. I shoot mine without the scope, as I was unable to get the scope to stay zeroed. You might also want to consider a .22 air rifle instead of a .177. Although you will not get the same fps, you will get better knock down power. Some of the newer .22 air rifles have a pretty respectable fps rating, if you are willing to spend a little more. I also recommend the Gamo Rocket pellets. I have experienced better accuracy and penetration with these pellets. Happy hunting! I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle.

I hope your using a 1000+ FPS break-barrel pellet rifle... If your still struggling to place accurate shots maybe its time to upgrade... I think you'd appreciate a Remington 870 Express 12 Gauge. My 2 cents :)

I have several hundred rounds through my DPMSLR308 and it holds up like a champ. I had the custom ballistic dials made for my loads, and its super fast in the field. Its a great scope and super quality.

probably not the bone collector is a great gun for the price, but louder than the whisper shot a squirril a few days ago with mine and the pellet went through the ribs and came out the other side suggest you try for the heavier, slower pellets if you shoot at short to medium distance slower speed less noise generaly, more speed, more noise one of the reasons I prefer 22 over 177

I havent mounted it on a rifle as yet.I have about 28 acres and I like to watch the wildlife I have here.I primarly just use it by itself right now.I'm looking for a Ruger 10 22 in 22 magnum.5 years ago I gould purchase one for less than $400.Now the greedydealers want$900 and theammo is obcsenelypriced.I live in TN and even the local walMarts haven't hs any 22LR for almost a year.just useing the scope I can see what goes bump in the night,

sorry for late reply. I would highly recommned it. this is no aimpoint, but its not too cheap or shabby. I have also heard that Primary Arms does a good red dot. You may want to check out that option. For the price you cant beat it.

This hits hard. 50-60 yards consistent. Depending on ammo you can get about 1300 fps with the high velocity pellets. I shoot the heavier lead that runs about 900-950 subsonic but it is way more accurate and packs a punch. Most 22lr rounds are 1250fps but would carry lead further out. It will shoot the 100yds no problem but accuracy just will not be there. I have a ruger .177 that doesn't shoot as fast as this one and they are both way more than the daisy 10 pumps of old

The 7.62 X 39 has roughly the equivalant velocity as a 30-30 Win with 150 grain bullet. Have shot 30-30 many years with this scope with great success. As far as repetative quick shooting should'nt be an issue at the low cost of the scope.
