Air rifle scopes- what are you running?

[bladeracer]

"Lower human extremities were used"!!!!!
The nicest way of saying"we were shooting each other in the arse" ive seen for a while!!!!!

At the moment with the opens I don't shoot any further than 25m at toads etc and around 40m at a 100mm square post cap so it'll be interesting to see what I can achieve with the scope even if it doesn't last very long it'll give me an idea of whether I'll spend more on a better scope or just stick with opens?

We used to do lots of similar testing with the nail guns on job sites
Those 3" nails hurt! The 30mm FC nails are friendlier

I'm already thinking to put iron sights on mine for some fun. But I'm struggling to make sense of Crosman's model numbers to find an exploded diagram.

I think it must be possible to remove the plastic shroud that encloses the entire barrel, but I can't work out how to, unless it's an interference fit.

Also getting some ideas from Joerg!

Have to agree with daddybang on this one.
Experimenting for $8 is great value.
I have a Sabre accent (I think) on an old 22 I don’t use and that is rated for springers - Think there are $60 scope, was no good on the 22 might give it a run on a springer and see some results. Too hot to go out for a hunt we’re I am ATM

I also found this article about a young bloke in Yorkshire shot in the neck with an air-rifle, impacting the carotid artery and causing facial nerve damage.

I emailed Bushnell to ask if I can use one of my AR Optics 4.5-18x40's on a springer but they haven't responded yet.

Response from Bushnell just now.
"The AR Optics line will not work on a springer air rifle. We recommend Trophy, Nitro or Forge."
