Well I got some rings today and put my 3-9 center point on. Oh man it is close to not fitting! The front lense cover has about 1mm between it and the barrel lol Snug as a bug!

So I think the lower scope height and this scope has helped, I think the 3-9 has more travel in the turrets then the 4-16? But anyway, zeroed it in for 30 yards and then tried some longer shots at my parents. It's a pretty sweet little rifle!
Took two shots to figure out where I was, then one and bam hit my pop can from 55 yards :D
Had to hold over 3-4 mildots

Then one more which just grazed the bottom of my can and knocked it off the nail.

Cool guns :wink: Of course I shouldn't have been playing outside since I am sick and it is supposed to be a sick day... stupid things you do for hobbies?

Funny thing too, I went to wholesalesports to get some rings, and the cheapest set they had was 30$ and they didn't even work, they were so cheap! Then the next step up was like 65$ And they weren't anything special! So I went to wally world and got a beeman 4X40 scope foir 40$ and just used the rings from it.

I have never seen nos in a can before :mrgreen:

I kind of miss this gun, just couldn't get past the pumping bit.

It's a great gun once you start modding it, and it's an amazing gun once you add every mod possible... but yes.. The pumping... I have a fully modded one with all the great aftermarket parts, and then it needs to be pumped..

Be careful, things can get expensive when you can replace everything
