short dot scope on air rifle

I was wondering how a short dot scope would perform on an air rifle, I've not seen yet any short dot on an air rifle, wouldn't it combine the benefits of both a red dot sight and a scope? I've read that given the limited power of air rifles a 4x magnification is sufficient if not preferable for hunting.

 

I had this scope in mind:

Any advice is welcome, pictures would be nicely.

Why not just fix a laser on your barrel or usual scope saves having to change the scope to a wee magnification

Plus the laser dots are much faster than any scope in poor light also you need not mount the gun to.shoulder if u have a rat creep out on you?

Just a thought as I use a laser mounted on my barrel I love it...

I have a 177 Bsa Lightening that I use for pest control, rats etc and I have been toying with the idea of fitting something like this or a short scope with a number 4 ret something like a Nikko Stirling Diamond I-4 x 24, to speed up target acquisition,

in the past 3 weeks ive bought 3 yes 3 of the nikko diamond scopes and the best thing ive done in nearly 50 years of shooting. i have 3 sidewinder scopes 4.5-14x42 and have removed 2 from my guns (now selling them) in favour of the little nikko. for me i just cant miss and much easier to use. will put pic up shortly. this is only my opinion of which we all have our own :good:
