anybody know if this model can be used with airgun?
its $179.99 plus $30 off for orders over $150 and this item gets free shipping. so the total comes out cheaper than my local Walmart which they has it for $199 + tax.

That is a nice scope, but the lack of an AO kind of makes it unsuitable for airgun usage.
Unless you're using it for a 100 yard airgun...LOL

Typically we need something that will focus down to 10 yards.

Just don't go out and buy a Leapers Scope..:) They are real boat achors and weigh more than most scopes that are air gun rated..:)
