Having talked with friends I know I am not alone in refraining from buying anything from China. International politics aside. Supporting a country with human rights abuses on a massive scale is unconscionable, stomach wrenching. Every time I use a Chinese item I now think about slave labor...

Assuming you've checked the ocular and parallax, it appears that you have reason to return the scope. It costs more money to have high quality magnification scopes higher than 18/20x so the appearance of such on budget scopes will tend to mean poorer clarity than those of lower magnification...

Apologies if I've missed something, but have you tried disconnecting the cylinder from the rifle before refilling with air? If the cylinder is fixed to the rifle then make sure the rifle is cocked with safety on (to ensure there is no hammer pressure on the valve pin/poppet-therein ensuring air...

http://www.daystate.com/images/content/news/Iberica-DS-4.jpg I knew he wasn't dead, but rather a shocker that he is an airgunner.

Bipod, loaded or free to move, on a hard or bouncy object is a questionable recipe for accuracy. Try a bag filed with either sand, rice, or my current favourite.....BB's. Search for the stock's best resting position and yes, gently hold/cup that fore end. If I sound like a particular Antipodean...

James Dean, my previous post was not addressed to yourself or any other; they were just general remarks. I don't know why you have chosen to assume so many things, which are incorrect, and so I won't bother commenting further. Good day.

Hotbrass, Would you prefer a FFP scope for hunting at short distances through branches ..... such as when after squirrels, which are often hard to track unless at low magnification, or birds.

I advise caution. Hot air can quickly dissipate. Advice should be balanced, and considered especially hard with others' money involved.

I don’t work for Robert Lane but, as a regular customer for his regulators, and after reading this thread I thought I’d better comment. (Neither has he asked me to comment). Airgun Regulator’s normal website is down so presently the easiest way to order is via ebay, normally sent out same day...

A promising result, presumably with a choked barrel. I'd be grateful, if you have some callipers, if you could measure the exact diameter and length of one of these "bullets". Thanks.

“FastEddie Cookie. Get over yourself. Your opinion is yours and means nothing to me. My experience with Hawke scopes are exactly what I said. Just because your a Hawke hater doesn’t change the facts as I stated. That’s why the two top guys in the airgun industry are using Hawke sidewinder...

“— FastEddie Hawke sidewinder tactical scopes are the best bang for your buck. Mine ALWAYS returns to zero. No issues, crystal clear at any magnification, turrets work great. Moa/Mildot scopes are more precise than mil/ mil scopes and its not rocket science to do math. Simple calculations. The...

My advice, for a first Chrono, is to buy an inexpensive "Chrony" because if like me (don't want to think how many thousands of pellets every year) you'll shoot one every couple of years and regret the expense.

With different .22 PCP rifles and barrels up to about 875 fps, accuracy has been dreadful. With one choked barrel I would get maybe 20% of shots that landed on top of each other but the rest were flying all over the place. I tried sorting them be weight and size (length/head/waist) but...

I have operated the turrets of literally dozens of Sidewinder scopes and never come across a single one that would ALWAYS return to zero after turning both vertical and horizontal turrets; the design of the turrets and manufacturing standards simply aren't up to it. Even Schmidt & Bender scopes...
