Does the adjustable objective work at air rifle ranges?

Yes. The adjustable objective focuses down close, so you can clear parallax at the short distances air rifles are usually shot at rather than at a fixed 100 yards.

Will it hold up on a spring-piston air rifle?

Many owners report it holds zero on spring-piston guns, but recoil from powerful springers is hard on scopes. Use good rings and check zero after the first few hundred shots.

Is the reticle illuminated?

No. The Mil-Dot reticle is a plain etched design with no illumination, so it depends on ambient light.

What mounts does it need?

It uses a 1-inch tube, so you need 1-inch rings or a one-piece mount sized for your rifle's dovetail or rail.

What comes in the box?

The scope and scope caps. Rings and a mount are not included.

How does it compare with a fixed-parallax airgun scope?

The adjustable objective is the main upgrade. A fixed-parallax scope is simpler and often lighter, but it cannot correct parallax at close range the way this one can.
