I have an Indian made Air Rifle.

No licence required.

My Air Rifle is not an expensive one.

The problem with most Indian air rifle that I saw before buying, is that there is no zeroing facility.

I think because scopes for air guns need to withstand "reverse recoil" they are made differently from other types.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING MOUNTING SCOPES ON BREAK BARREL AIR RIFLES
Break-barrel rifles can be inherently inaccurate when used with a scope. This is because of the design; constantly breaking the barrel can cause droop and the barrel can get loose over time. You never replace the barrel in the exact same spot as it was before. It can be microscopic, but with minute of arc in mind it can make a difference at long ranges.

The way to see this is with using the open sights, because they are attached to the part of the barrel that moves you will have consistent accuracy with those sights. When you mount a scope, it is sighted in relevance to the position of the barrel. Should the position of that barrel stray or loosen over-time, it can cause all kinds of accuracy problems when using the scope. This problem is unavoidable with this style of air gun.

We recommend a fixed-barrel spring pneumatic rather than the break barrel style if you are serious about using a scope on an air gun. With a fixed-barrel, you cock the gun with a lever usually positioned on the side or underneath the barrel. You get the power of a spring pneumatic with the added assurance of accuracy knowing you never have to move the barrel. This will make it much easier to sight and keep a scope sighted in.

Choosing the right air rifle scope can be a daunting task. There are dozens to choose from and all of them have different features to offer you. To make things easier, lets examine the basics of airgun scopes. Essentially, a scope simply magnifies an image you are targeting and puts you on the same visual plane as the object. It does this by using a series of lenses inside the scope to bend the light that enters so that it magnifies the image. An air rifle scope is special because it can withstand the unique vibration and double recoil of an air rifle. NEVER PUT A FIREARM SCOPE ON AN AIR RIFLE. Now, the reason people enjoy having scopes on their air rifles is because it will help you achieve the pinpoint accuracy that air rifles are known for. So, let’s take a look at the two different kinds of scopes starting with fixed air rifle scopes.

You are aiming wrong. Always keep your sight up. You are keeping it on target and undershooting. A good fighter pilot always keeps it on top is very old saying. Next time keep your sight aiming at the top of the bulls eye and you will hit it bang in center.

@W.G.Ewald,

Thnx, Very resourceful info..

Kunal Biswas · 10-04-13, 09:23 PM

@Decklander, Will keep that in mind ..

If you have membership of your local rifle association and have taken part in a few competitions, then you can import 0.22 calibre rifles. Look up indiansforguns.com

You would be best of buying 2nd hand imported air gun, ofb makes a few gas powered ones but they arent great.

Accessories depend on the make.

Is it from 10m? Nice grouping!

I used to score 76-80 in 10 shots from 10m with an OFB .117 break barrel.

How much did it cost?

The Rifle cost me +9000, The range is 10ms..

I got it from Aimco Enterprise at esplanade only, Very reliable and friendly people..
