benjamin franklin air rifle 22 cal model 392 scope mount

Overall this scope is clearly designed to deal with the challenges of air rifle optics. There’s also a stop pin that’s designed to prevent the scope from slowly sliding out of alignment over time. I do like that the one-piece mounting block has three screws that can be tightened down to really make sure that scope doesn’t kick around during shooting.

Just double check the size of your dovetail mount before ordering to make sure it fits. You’ll be able to fit this scope onto any ⅜” dovetail mount which is pretty standard across air rifles. From close range 25-30 yards or all the way out to 80-100 yards you should be able to find a comfortable zoom level. This really covers all the magnification levels you might want on an air rifle scope. I love that this scope features a 3-9 power zoom.

3 mounting screws for the dovetail clamp.

That makes this scope a great choice at high zoom or in low light conditions where extra light can enter the optic.īest for a no-nonsense scope with tons of magnification for your air rifle. I do like the relatively large 40mm objective lens. For air rifles, a mil-dot reticle just doesn’t seem necessary. I would have liked to see a regular crosshair reticle rather than the mil-dot reticle though. I like that the scope comes with fully coated lenses which help minimize glare and visual distortion in the image. That’s all there is to this powerful scope, but do we really need any more with an air rifle scope?

In the center is a vertical and horizontal reticle adjustment.Īt the front the bell can be adjusted for objective lens parallax correction. There’s an adjustment for zoom power near the rear of the scope. If anything, many scopes for air rifles are overly complicated. Luckily, however, they kept things simple. This scope is built around a 1” main tube which is quite common for this size of optics.
