I have two of these scopes from about 12 years ago. I put them on very accurate 22 rifles and to my chagrin I discovered they both shifted impact on the target when I turned the magnification ring. One was about 3/8 inch at 50 meters, the other about 3/4. I'm going to give them to some kids who have inaccurate 22's that won't know the difference. If your 250 can live with that then go for it. A Leupold tech told me they're airgun rated, but I don't read anything into that from past experience with many Leupold scopes. I really wish I could love Leupold, but...
