I put this powerline 3-9x32 on a model 94 30-30 win. It stayed zero for about 6 shots and then got off zero . This is not a good scope for this gun. (read more)

Written on: 01/12/2009

A great scope for the right application. I have one mounted on my Crosman 140 adult air rifle, and it works wonderful.

I saw another reviewer mention he had trouble when mounted on his rws model 34. That is a springer rifle, not a pneumatic. A springer rifle will tear up regular scopes due to the backward-forward motion of the internal spring.

This scope will perform perfectly if mounted on a pneumatic airgun or a .22 rifle. (read more)

how well does it stay zeroed on your 10/22? im wanting to put mine on me Rem 522 Viper 22LR. i had my rifle since 1993 and im now wanting to put a scope on it for long range shooting. i seen a few comment on here saying it wasnt good for bullets fater then 1000fps and i was also told you cant put a air rifle scope on a rim fire or center fire because its a entirely different recoil system. because the recoil on a air rifle travles from the back of the rifle to the front where as a rim fire and center fire travels frim the muzzle to the stock and that difference in recoil could break the crosshairs... how does yours hold p to the recoil to your 10/22? please email me and let me know how its holding up please

You cant get a better scope than the Daisy Powerline 3-9x32 airgun scope for the money. If you have good marksman skills and understand how to properly set up and use this scope,it is absolutely awesome.I have two of these mounted to pneumatic air rifles.I dont care for springers,but I do have one mounted to a .270 and has held up great and stays zeroed.This is the best deal going if you know what youre doing.Excellent price,stays zeroed,very accurate and durable.

Written on: 04/01/2009 by robontarget (1 review written)

I have this scope mounted on my Powerline 880 and my Gamo CFX. My 880 consistently prints 5 in 0.75" at 35 yds, and my CFX prints 5 in 0.95" at 50 yds. This scope also holds well on most rimfire .22's as well, regardless I have mounted the same one on a 30-30 as well. GREAT SCOPE!!!!!

The only way this won't work, is if you don't understand the concept of marksmanship (principles of shooting). If you know how to shoot NO PROBLEMS. (read more)

The scope is definately more powerful than the one that came on my Remington. Though I am satisfied with my standard 4x20 scope, after reading posts about how this one was so much better I thought I would give it a try. The scope has better adjustment features and is supposedly more shock proof but after 2-hours I still couldn't get it dialed in. The calibration was inconsistant though they recommend setting it up with a controlled bench environment which I didn't have. Because I couldn't... (read more)

Well, Its' amazing to me have little $25.00 gets you nowadays.
I realize that this is a cheap scope, but it does advertise itself to be shockproof and ready for air rifles and .22 cal shooting.
I've owned tow of these, one came with my Powerline 1000 rifle.
I just bought the second for a cheap Chinese springer.
As with the first scope on my powerline rifle, I had a devil of a time trying to get this thing to stay on my rifle!

I didn't have any issue with the mounts because they were pretty much the same as free standard scope, but calibrating this scope which sits more than an inch higher was a long process that I wasn't able to master and ultimately gave up after 2-hours.

800X 22 cal. rifle. Didn't expect much but as you can tell from my list of "Good Points' i've been pleasantly surprised.
The most important things you need to do to have a chance to realize the performance this scope offers is as follows:
1. Clean the scope rails with denatured alcohol (available at Walmart in Pharmacy section)

I needed a scope for my recent purchase of a Gamo Shadow 1000 (Walmart $74.00 WOW!). I didn't want to spend more than $30.00 for the scope. I looked around on the web and thought the best I could do was a 4 x 32 for that price, then I decided to go back to Walmart and see what they had. Sure enough there was a Daisy Powerline 3-9x32 airgun scope for $28.53. Don't let the low price fool you, it's just as good as similar scopes selling from $50-$75, plus it is specifically designed to handle... (read more)

When i got it i was excited because it had nice clarity, but when i mounted it it wasn't alligned with the gun so i looked for the problem and found that on one side the weaver thingy is longer than the other side. Then when i was tighning it one of the screws broke, so for now im sticking with my cheap 4x15 daisy scope wich i have had for 8 years and stil works perfectly except i would like a higher power, so i definitely recomend the 4x15 over the 3-9x whatever it is.

Written on: 30/06/2006 by mithral7 (5 reviews written)

Want to add another review rating to counter my previous Daisy Powerline rating. I have solved my previous distress by identifying the rings/mounts as my problem. Now that the scope is properly mounted properly on my high power springer air-rirle it is working just fine.

If mounting on a .22 rimfire, CO2 rifle, or pump air-rifle, the rings and mounts it comes with should work just fine.

For those who aren't familiar, it is the forward spring recoil on higher power springer air-rifles... (read more)

Written on: 26/06/2006 by mithral7 (5 reviews written)

Lots of good reviews here, but I can't make my Daisy Powerline 3-9x32 hold zero to save my life. Suggestions welcome. I am experienced at mounting scopes and sighting them in. I even followed the instructions and I am using a scope stop. I can get the scope to hold a tight zero group for about 3-5 shots then it wandering off. I get 2-3 tight shots, then it wanders again. At a 22 foot target (length of my garage) it will wander from 1 to 2 inches.

Mithral7's Response to mithral7's Review

Written on: 28/06/2006

UPDATE: I discovered that this scope, itself, is not my problem. It is THE CHEAP MOUNTS supplied with the scope. Because of "barrel droop" or whatever it is called now... the barrel assembled at a slight angle from the spring chamber of my spring air-rifle... the scope does not mount parallel to the barrel.
<br>
<br>So far I'm unable to adjust the scope reticule enough to compensate, and shimming the rear mount has proved problematic on several levels. Plus, the 1000fps rifle places serious stress on the scope mounts when fired, causing additional mounting problems.
<br>
<br>It appears that the proper mounts I should get will cost me more than the scope. Enough so that it might just scrap the whole scope deal and get one of those Beeman (Williams style) aperture rear sights and go straight iron sights with it from from here on out.

Written on: 05/03/2006 by 1kjeah (25 reviews written)

For an air rifle scope, the Daisy Powerline one does all it needs to do. It comes with great scope mounting rings and wil securely clamp to any air rifle. I have mine on a Gamo shadow 1000 and I have achieved groups of .25 inches at 30 yards. It is double padded at both ends so that the jarring action of the spring piston in the rifle will not knock the scope out of line. Do not buy a regular rifle scope for an air rifle because it will be broken internally. This is your best bet and... (read more)

Written on: 30/12/2005 by shoot2kill (6 reviews written)

Buying a scope for an airgun should not set you back as much as the gun. Fortunately, Daisy Powerline offers a good quality, effective scope that fits this demand. You could zero this baby to a favorite shooting distance of 35 yards and live happily with it for a long time.

Yes, you may need to aim lower at closer targets, and higher at further ones, and lower again as the projectile loses velocity over very long distances. Do you need to spend hundreds of dollars for little markings, an... (read more)

I read your review and liked it a lot. I bought a scope, which looks identical to yours (branded Norconia 3-9x32) and had the same exact feelings. After one week I have upgraded to (same brand) 3-9x40 (definitely brighter) and shot some 200 (.177) pellets so far with my Weihrauch HW77K... I would like to ask you a couple of questions about zeroing this scope if it is OK with you.
<br/>Thanks in advance.

Sniperx's Response to shoot2kill's Review

Written on: 23/10/2006

Regarding your review about the Daisy Powerline 3-9x32 airgun scope. I have zeroed my scope (Norconia 3-9x40) at 20 yards with the zoom magnification set on “4” and appreciated the remarkable accuracy of my Weihrauch HW77K.
<br/>
<br/>The scope is mounted in the proper way, and behind the mounts I have fastened a recoil stop, which lodges very firmly across the dovetail, fits the appropriate notch and provides additional support, preventing even the smallest displacement of the scope.
<br/>
<br/>With (the same size) killzone, even shooting from the same (indoor) distance using the exact same pellets, if I rotate the scope zoom onto a different position I do not hit the target.
<br/>
<br/>Am I overlooking the most basic concepts of the optical physical science or is my scope simply defective?
<br/>
<br/>Thanks in advance for your expert advice and for eventual tips/suggestions.

Written on: 24/10/2006

The optical plane does change, and that is the purpose of having an adjustable objective.. Most all scopes require that you set the zoom to the highest level of magnification, then set the objective, then zoom back out if you want.
<br/>
<br/>The point behind my comments regarding the Daisy Powerline 3-9x32 airgun scope, and I probably did not emphasize this, is that I set the Powerline to 9X and set my zero at 30 yards. Since I am mostly doing pest patrol at about 25 to 35 yards, I see no shift because I do not change magnification.
<br/>
<br/>So now seeing that you shoot a TX in FT type competition, I would suggest a scope with AO (adjustable objective). Your physics class served you well. But for the average pest patrol pellet gun shooter, the Powerline set to highest mag that you intend to use, and then zeroed, is a great scope. This is about 75% of those who buy it from Walmart.

Written on: 25/10/2006

shoot2kill, First of all thanks for the time you took for replying to me, and for the suggestion about the scope with Adjustable Objective lens for parallax correction. I believe that this would solve my equation!
<br/>
<br/>For the fun and for the interest of other readers too I would like to post (see bottom) a couple of useful links, which I found rather pertinent to the subject. Specifically the first link, which describes a fairly easy procedure to correct parallax of inexpensive scopes which do not feature that "extra dial", for which, as you very wisely wrote in your first review, one must take the rap for!
<br/>
<br/>I would recommend the other 2 links to all those airgun shooters who -like myself- have still much to learn.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>By the way, after I read your review on the Diana P5 Magnum, despite I am not really into pistols, I am considering buying one! Any other good tips?
<br/>
<br/>Over and out, SniperX

I purchased my Daisy Powerline 3-9x32 airgun scope at Walmart, and have been using it for a few weeks now on my tuned Norinco Fastdeer. As with most airgun scopes, you will need to shim the rear scope mount slightly to get your pellets to hit where you aim, otherwise they will be low. Be careful when shimming, as the scope mount threads do not go full depth in the holes and can easily be stripped with too much shim installed. Along these same lines, the turret covers require a gentle touch... (read more)
