    My range mate uses solely those cheap Pieces of shit on 22’s
    Ive mannaged to talk him into a couple of better ones though
    They work ok for a 22 but id just spend 300 odd and get something half decent for even a 22
    Probably spend 4-500 min on a centerfire scope

    As others have said spring powered air rifles require a “air gun scope”
    The spring action Destroys ever the best centerfire scopes

    I haven't been able to find any replacement screws. The back ring seems to need longer screws than the front one. Its these dodgy Taranaki guys selling misrepresented crossbows on TradeMe

    Those little scopes are terrible to look through. Very narrow field of view. They were made for air rifles but they were not really any good for those. You would be better off with a cling film roll tube.
    dogmatix and tetawa like this.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
