Cross eye dominant
I asked Holosun this question: I have a 5 year old Holosun 403B. I'd like to use it on an air rifle pellet gun. Some airgunners say spring piston and gas ram rifles will destroy the 403. My question is how much vibration can the 403 withstand? Any recommendations on what type of air rifle to use the 403 on?I am right handed and left eye dominant. The best advise I can give is when using a traditional scope try to keep both eyes open. Choose a scope that has a forgiving eye box, and stay away from using the highest magnification (which typically makes the eye box / eye less forgiving).
I have successfully used a red dot (technically a reflex dot) on low powered spring guns. One thing you'll want to look for is an optic with multiple dots or reticles for holdover. Because chances of a squirrel / target always being at the same distance is slim. And as you'll find a pellet can drop quite a bit after your zero points.
Another thing to consider is that spring guns are notoriously hard on some optics. Make sure your optic is "spring gun rated". I use a small Hawke scope with Sportsmatch rings on my springer.
If you're just shooting squirrels at say less than 50 yards you don't need much power. A low to medium power spring gun will suffice.

This was their answer: Thank you for contacting Holosun. The HS403B will be able to handle the vibration no problem.
