I own several air rifles, Beemans, Air Force, etc. but I found a Gamo for a good price so I thought I would try it. It came with a scope. Of course, that scope broke in short order from the violent recoil of the Gamo Fusion Pro. I purchase another scope that was supposed to hold up to the recoil and it too failed too after about 5 shots (would not adjust vertically). Now I have Bushnell XLTs on all of my other air rifles and they have served me well for years so goodness knows why I would deviate. I mounted this scope on the Gamo and it zeroed right in after I installed a droop picatinny rail to compensate for the barrel droop of the rifle. Nice clear optics, I like the DOA Reticles and the scope is holding up just fine to the reverse recoil of the spring piston. I recommend Bushnell scopes to all my air rifle shooting friends. Be careful to buy the Bushnell XLT or above Bushnells for magnum spring-piston rifles. Not they are bad scopes but the Bushnell Banners or lower are just not manufactured to hold up the reverse recoil of magnum air rifles. Found this out with a Beeman R-9 several years ago.
