7 things to know about airgun scopes 

Simplistic elegant and straight to the point. Even a newbie could understand . Great video brother

By far the absolute best information for demystifying all my questions (and more) in about 12 minutes, and all in just one video! THANKS!

By far the BEST introduction to scopes I have ever watched! I thought I understood all 7 things discussed in this video but learned a lot. Thanks for the education.

Tyler! What an excellent video on such an important subject that, one time or another, all air gunners have questions about. Thanks!

I must say I use the “eye it “ method for scope mounting,and it works fine for me.I used Tom Gaylord video where he opens two eyes and just bisects the rifle with the vertical crosshairs of the scope.Has worked very well for me at the distances I hunt,which generally ,is 50 yards and in. Piss on those levels and plumb bobs and all that other malarkey.

Great video and it cleared up a question I've had for years. I've seen, over and over, where an "expert" claimed that the larger tubes allowed more light to pass through to the eye. Having some familiarity with astronomical scopes and an understanding of manufacturing practices, I knew that was BS. Tubes are made at least as big as will allow all the usable light through. Why spend money making an expensively large aperture only to stop it down with a tiny tube? Just save manufacturing costs by making a smaller aperture since size and cost are related. I was always left wondering, "Since that's a bunch o' bull, whats the real reason?" and your point about giving more adjust-ability makes perfect sense and rings true to me. So thanks for clearing that up for me, and I'm sure, many others.

Thanks Tyler 😊

Great info all of this is new to me

Tyler,.. thank u these videos are great

Great optics info!

Very helpful thanks

Thanks!

Nice job explaining these topics.

Re: mounts - good to mention that one reason to go with the two-piece version is having access for the magazine, or your fingers.

Good over all video , didn’t know about the torque tool . Would like you to do a mounting of a 2 ring high and one pice using those tools . Thank you Tyler . Posted to Facebook.

Well this would have been handy earlier today as I just bought my first scope for my first PCP. Ended up with a Hawke AirMax. I think I still made a good choice though.

Good video I like you Thanks 👍🌹

Wish this was around 10 years ago Trial and error gets expensive

I am currently looking at a decent budjet scope for springers ! Timing was perfect for this subject 😋

Please cover: lense covers, camera\ video mounting, thermal and laser ranging systems. Tks😊😊

Thanks for the information. IF I had seen this video before buying my well respected pellet rifle brand I might have not bought a springer, but "maybe" a PCP. For my various reasons I *need* a quiet rifle. A PCP probably won't do that for me either, unless I undertake a. college of knowledge research approach. Projectile speed sonic noise is very often not even thought about by newbies in the pellet gun game. People just don't know what they don't know so they sometimes end up making bad decisions by just watching a few video product reviews. After buying a 3rd party scope for my, supposedly good for accuracy reviews rifle, I'm disappointed that I needed to buy a replacement scope at all. The manufacturers have to deal with price competition so they "include" the cheapest scope they can to make sales. It looks a little like a marketing trap. With the scope included with my new air rifle even when the crosshairs are in focus and I get my eye the distance from the eyepiece that gives me a "no blackout" in the view I still see the cross hairs move WAAAY off the target when I hold the rifle still, but move my eye up and down or right to left. That causes a lack of accuracy. How can I ever learn where to put my eye to the scope so the scope gives me reliable accuracy? It's a mystery, plus when hunting there's very often not enough time to fiddle around with eye placement in the scope view. That's what I got with my second focal plane scope, the one included with the scope and the new 3rd party scope. A fastened down target stays still long enough for that fiddling around , but vandalizing critters don't stay still very long. IF I had known about 1st focal plane / 2nd focal plane scope. I might have spent more for the scope for my intended purpose than for the well respected rifle I picked OR might not have bought a pellet rifle in the first place. I can deal with (did) get a MIL dot scope to adjust for the arc of the pellet trajectory, bit not knowing that greater arc of trajectory plus focal plane differences before hand makes dealing with a pellet rifle harder from the get go. Then not knowing about the dual directional recoil could cause me to quickly ruin a decent high powered rifle scope mounted to a pellet gun. Most of that stuff is glossed over OR not mentioned at all in pellet gun video reviews. Buying a pellet gun that will serve as well a decent hunting rimfire rifle, but be as quiet as needed will cost as much as or more than a decent rimfire rifle with a decent hunting scope. OK I'm through crying now. lol I just have now to search out and buy a scope that costs more than my rifle.

Please give me 3 budget options for my Seneca Dragon claw II, shooting at about 50 yards.

Please suggest the budget king scope( Under 200$ to 300$).

What’s your opinion? I purchased the scope Discovery LHD-NV 4-16X44SFIR SFO for my PCP high-powered pellet rifle. 1,100 FPS and 70 FPE. I spoke to some experts and they told me that if I am exclusively focusing on marksmanship/target, shooting with my pellet rifle to a my maximum distance of 300 yards and maybe 400 yards if possible that I should exchange my scope for the first focal plane Discovery model which is Discovery optics LHD 3-12X42SFIR FFP. A minority of people told me that it’s a personal choice.

I have a dot sight on my Umarex Trevox springer and finding that it creeps back on the dovetail mount as I use it. I'm thinking of using lock tight sleve retainer to keep it from doing this. How can I keep my sight from kreeping?

Mantap👍👍👍

Can an air rifle scope be used on a high powered rifle? Probably a stupid question but I hope someone will be nice enough to answer it. Great video btw.

I just picked up a Umarex/Ruger 4x32 scope at a yard sale for 5 bucks. It appears to be in good condition, clear view and no damage. The questions that I have are: 1) What type of scope is it? 2) Is it suitable for both air rifles and 22 lr semi-autos?

for some one looking to start pcp bullpup or rifle and is a regulated rifle really better than non reg

Does pyramid Air sell that torque setting tool

This is so complicated that I said no thank you still can shoot with iron sights up to 50 yards gauss some of us are built different

Have a magnum powered nitro piston break barrel that will destroy all of those scopes....at this time most "rated scopes" are NOT RATED FOR MAGNUM BREAK BARREL GUNS...please give right info...just saying....

Great info on scopes, it really helps for sure, however why do I keep moving around in the room. One minute im looking straight at you and you engaged directly at me speaking, then for no reason you place me over to the side and start speaking to the person that took my spot, what happened did you get bored talking to me. Im glad to see this multi camera angle style of filming coming to an end on RU-vid videos but for some reason the editor at pyramid air really really likes to use it all the time. Call it "artistic" if you will but when you change the angle its almost kind of rude, one minute your speaking to me and all the other thousands of viewers watching, then for no reason you turn away as if being bored with the viewer and would rather speak to an imaginary person that's not really there. I do enjoy Pyramid Air videos its just this copy cat style of filming im tired of seeing, it takes me away from what is being said. Other than that, thanks for all the fantastic info over the years.

Make summary cards available (cheat sheets) to serve as reminders of info in the video trng. Cards shout be 1/3 to 1/2 of a 5x7 index card laminated. Make available for nominal fee ($1) by mail. Good PR for Pyramid and it's a long life takeaway to show your buddies. Pyramid is the industry's class act and info leader. It's the next logical offering if you're the king but not a smug and lazy monarch. LOL.

You just make crap up as you go along?!? Parallax has nothing whatsoever to do with focus. "Observed displacement of an object caused by the change of the observer's point of view"... regardless of focus. You can't trust anything someone like this says... they are talking for the purpose of making money and are totally unreliable. Stay safe.

How about the other type of parallax correction? Like when you move your head around but keep the rifle still and the red dot / reticle stays on target visually. What do you call that?

Watched 5 videos all had price in pounds, pounds is weight not money this is America

U talk about nunbers used by scopes
