Depends upon your springer. Some, like a Diana 350, will require a very robust mount and scope combination. Others, such as the Beeman R7 can work with scopes that the 350 will break. What you need to do is ask which scope for your gun. I think the major manufacturers all offer them in different grades of durability. Or, if you have deep pockets, buy a Lyman - they are air gun rated with a lifetime warranty.
