Thanks Jungleshooter. I prefer SFP, short range would be 15, Longest around 100. Ideally under 600 bucks.

Yes that reticle has a nice center dot and looks like it's illuminated which is even better.

I am looking at Midas 4-16X44

OK, good, that's helpful:


Top end magnification:
At least 16x for 100y range — better 20x for seeing impact holes in paper target.


Bottom end magnification — really means "Field of View (FoV)":
Your comment that your 6-24x has a FoV that is too narrow is spot-on for ranges of 15y (typical FoV of 6-24x scopes is 20-22ft @100y).
For close-range hurried shots I consider 30ft "sufficient" — but 40ft "ideal".
There are few scopes with a bottom end of 4x that will give you those 30ft.
The bottom end magnification that gives you those 40ft is usually 3x.


️ Combining your top end and bottom end magnification requirements results in the ideal scope being a:
★ common: 3-18x
★ very rare: 2.5-20x | 3-24x | 3-28x

Less than "ideal" due to a narrower FoV, but "sufficient" could be:
★ uncommon: 4-24x
★ common: 4-20x (but often with a rather narrow FoV, e.g., Sightron)
★ rare: 4-32x



I attach below 2 Scope Specs Tables where you can compare scopes with those magnification ranges.

All scopes in the tables are separated into SFP and FFP.

They all have a 10y minimum parallax.

They all have exposed elevation turrets and a hold-off reticle.


⮕ You now simply go to the SFP section in the Tables.
There you find your magnification range —
then make sure the FoV is OK —
and note the price and warranty —
and if the reticle has a center dot (CD). (Please, note that only recently I started adding this info, so there are some scopes where this is not stated.)


Have fun scope shopping!

Could be, i dunno, some of it looks fine. My question is if I back it down 3-5%, that puts me in the 960 fps range, where the es is much worse???

Awe shucks, I thought you were asking about clothes and wardrobe selections …..

well, the 3D printed sight body is worthless without the top and windage clip
so, i have had the misfortune to take a sight apart and i would say it is impossible to save the clip it has to be cut off and to get to it, the broken upper sight has to be cut away, so the base is useless

At least your are consistent.

Repeatable and consistent 1 MOA might be achievable at an indoor range but outdoors in the wind is another thing. It boils down to your ability to reading the wind ??? Pellets move a LOT at 100Y because of their low BC as compared to the higher BC of slugs.

i wish the C model mags had some sort of index on them, i tried to add br=earing balls with some success but not really
i have a odd duck it is a 853cm model very nice

I’ve done a lot of business with these companies, all have been great to me.

First of all, thank you very much for the clarifications. The original regulator is in perfect condition, but due to the impossibility of measuring the regulator pressure, I ordered one from Huma (getting an original one in Europe is almost impossible) so that a custom tester could be made for me without having to touch the original.

so is the XL better yes no maybe
now a thought if these are being made in China as we know they are they would, could be in the tariff wars
in reality there should never be a shortage of these pistols but Gamo bought Crosman and i believe Gamo could screw up an empty room
i believe you should move on from Crosman as we stated yesterday

One place I will never purchase pellets from again is Midway USA. They are a great vendor EXCEPT pellets. I ordered half a dozen H&N pellets and two of them broke open in shipping. 1000 pickup right out of the shipping box. Oh I was pissed!

Click to expand...

I sent an email to Midway today about this... as a "courtesy call" or "heads-up." They responded asking me about the damage to my pellets. I replied that I got lucky with no damage but that perhaps they simply don't know about the "special" status and needs for shipping pellets safely. I replied with a detailed explanation (and photos). We'll see if they respond favorably to my suggestion as a "long time big fan and customer."

Finished another 2240 build @ 4:20 this morning. Shot it for awhile after I mounted a Simons red dot.

I ordered the XL just for the steel breech. I then ordered a plain barrel from Mellon Air so I could put sights on it. It is still in the wrapper on the bench, will get to it someday. Did you try anything on your other one?
