I bought this scope today, cheap, and plan to put it on one of my springers. Wonder how it will do and hold up?

As the saying goes " you'll find out sooner or later". .lol
Maybe rattled in 500 +/- shots or last you a lifetime.. scopes on a springer can be a dice roll..

I have a 3/4" tube Bushnell .22 Rimfire Scope that I ran on my first HW35EB I ran it for years. It never shifted Zero once. I took it off to install a Beeman/Williams Peep Sight which is still on it today, in fact I shot a Ground Squirrel in my front yard day before yesterday with it..
I had a Leapers 1-4X Airgun Scope mounted on my Mini 14 for several years and trips to Front Sight Rifle Classes, ran fine. Took it off in favor of a Red Dot and put it on my R1. Lasted for exactly 6 shots! came apart internally. Leapers replaced it!
Unless you are willing to put a quality scope on an Air Rifle. IE; one made for Springers, or a Leupold or the like,,, it's a total Crap Shoot.

One thing i've found hitting local gun shows is that i can find crossbow scopes fairly cheap. Most have never been used. They hold up very well. Some have the funky reticles some don't but if you want to go a cheaper route that works pretty good , give it a try.

A lot will depend on how smooth your springer shot cycle is...one reason most tune there rifles, to smooth the shot cycle!
