yup... know any "good" scope companys that make them for air rifles... the one on mine stinks.. (came with it).. even though its an air rifle its got enough of a kick to mess up the scope itself... its ram spring actuated.. and i think the shock from the ram springs enough to be throwing it off... ill get it close.. and either next shot or could later its off in who knows where land...

i think it was bouncing off the slot walls... lol.. being right handed i had it on my right side... which it also ejects to the right... so i figure it ejects fast enough to bounce off the wall and land on my head...

Both my scopes are illuminated either red/green and both are MIL-DOT scopes. I like Leapers brand a lot.

Id love to learn a few things from someone like that, I love watching those sniper shows on tv. 1st time I shot with my dad (hell first time I shot a gun that wasnt a BB gun lol) I was out shooting him with a 22. He bet me I couldnt hit a road sign at about 65yrs, hit it first shot and he never hit it. We were both using 22's, his was his fathers and mine was my moms father.

Less than $500 from my dealer. They retail for around $550-$650 locally. Anything else youd like to know?
Looks like a lot of fun!...........Is it finicky about types of ammo like 10/22s are with high cap mags? My 10/22 is flawlessly reliable with CCI but "less" than reliable with anything else.

Very cool Chris! It is fun to learn from my cousin, he's very good, and patient, but when you reaize why he's good and the stuff they do..well, its a bit hard to imagine. Not quite the same as when you watch "shooter" if you know what I mean...I'm very proud to be his cousin.

So far, I've only used CCI HV, and Winchester Super X hollow points, and its been great. It clearly states right on the box to use HV only, copper jacketed. I have been told if you shoot junk through it, it will jam up bad. So far, after 1000rds, its perfect. Good .22 ammo is only $8 for 100 rds!!!!

Yep, stick with the CCI mini mags, they never seem to fail. Federal and Remington .22lrs seem to have their quality control guy asleep at the switch. Very nice weapon! I like ARs a lot and have 1 Colt HBAR, I also have several AK variants.........Out far, use the AR, up close, AK!

ive always liked old school plane jane cross hairs... some ways i wish theyd put the tri dots on there.. but because it was "scoped" they didnt... only thing i wish is was a multi-shot one... but its a single shot break barrel... its just got a lil 4x20 adjustable scope on it... but like i said its just not siting in for me.. same company that made the gun is the same company that made the scope..

i mainly got it for backyard fun and shoot the stupid rabbits that keep nesting and eating my garden back there... dont want to put alot of money into a scope either being that its a cheap gun too... figure if i could get a better scope than whats on there now itd be much more accurate...

That place has so many scopes its crazy. Just back out of sniper scopes and go to regular. I bet even a $20 scope would help you a lot.
