My question - can you still have SHARP (really) target image at max magnification at the range of 20 yards or so with such a scope?
I'm considering the new SWFA 1-6x24 or Weaver Tactical 1-5x24 as my new scope for my new toy, EdGun Lelya bullpup airgun (yeah, I know... but I'm askig about the scope only) and I'd need somethig fully usable at 5x at the range of 20-50 yards.
BTW, the scope in the pic is not worth mentionning, the optical quality is just too low to even look through it (for me). But it was one I had on shelf and my Lelya just arrived from the gun maker... so I had to scope it.
Thanks!!!

You probably already know this, but be careful putting a normal riflescope on an air rifle. My hearsay information is that an air rifle has a two-way recoil, versus a one-way recoil for a rifle. Allegedly, the air rifle scopes are built to handle the different recoil.
