Have a Stoger 177 with a fixed 4 power scope. One inch tube FYI Clear glass and does a good job if you keep it zeroed. Went to gun store and asked about upgrading to a better scope and was told they did not have any air gun scopes in house. Insisted a regular scope would not work. Called another store and got the same story. Who makes a good scope that will work?

Did they say why a regular scope won’t work? I have a .22 PCP rifle with a regular scope and can shoot the tits off a mosquito.
Apparently the spring mechanism on air rifles will destroy a regular scope in use. I've read that for years but have no idea if it is true.
sales exspurt? we have exspurts here that will tell you what to do and what to buy. be patient,they are lurking
I have heard the same about springers.. I have a pcp with a standard cheap ass rimfire scope that I can shoot the nuts off a donkey with at 20 feet.
Thems big nuts.
Cant imagins that being true, considering most decent scopes are rated up to 50bmg, and most scopes that are on airguns i wouldnt even consider for 22lr, most are chinesium.
Just to be safe, get a scope from company that has good warranty, like Leupold, Vortex, Primary Arms or Burris. If the scope goes kaput (which it shouldn't, they have warranty)
