Are air rifle scopes banned?

Post by sam 47 » Sat Jul 23, 2016 3:42 pm

Today I went to buy a scope for my Scorpius.First went to aimco enterprise.There I was told that they don't have scopes in stock but they can arrange for a scope.Cost 1250.When I asked if the scope would get damaged with a few shots or change poi ,I was told there was no gurrantee , nor would they give a receipt for the item.
Next went to east India arms company.They had no scopes.
Lastly went to at daw & co.There I was told air rifle scopes are banned and if spotted with scope ar and scope would be seized by police. :roll: :(
Is this true?Are air rifle scopes banned?
Is there now no way to get a scope for a air rifle scope legally?

Thanks sir. I for the life of me couldn't understand how air rifles scopes could be illegal if the rifle was legal, especially since I am buying over the counter. Its real confusing when air gun dealers themselves misguide. Anyways thanks for clearing it up.
