Sacrebleu ! And with the Montgolfier brothers on the butt stock in their 1783 balloon.

Given this list of airguns and the optic, it seems like you would be able to use low rings with the exception of the AEA pro, which might have a problem with the clearance between the mag and mounted optic. You could face a problem though with the low rings being too low for your eye depending on the structure of your face and how your cheek rests on the rifle. What I would do is create some gages that will allow you to determine where the center of your eye naturally rest when you have the rifle comfortably mounted to your body and your cheek. If you have a table saw, these gages can be made by cutting some 1/2” plywood into strips that are 8” in length and 0.9“, 1.0”, 1.1” and 1.2” in width. The long edges should be parallel. Determine the center height of your eye by holding/mounting the rifle and having someone rest the smallest gage on top of the rail with its 0.9” dimension perpendicular to the top of the rail. The gage‘s end should be fairly close to your eye, so you might want to wear some eye protection when doing this. Sight down the top edge of the gage to determine if your eye is low or high. If your eye is high, and your cheek is comfortably rested, then the current gage you are using is too low, and thus a mount with a centered height of similar value to the gage will not work for you. Repeat for the next size gage until you find the one where you need to lift your head a bit off the cheek piece to sight down the gage. The height of this gauge will determine the center height of the mount you should look for. Another thing to consider is eye relief or the required distance between the scopes eyepiece lens and your eye. Some rifles have rails that do not permit the optic to be positioned forward or rearward enough for some people without some kind of cantilevered mounting system. I ran into this issue on my Panthera, which required me to utilize cantilevered rings. I don’t think you will run into this issue given the airguns you have listed. As for mount quality/price, I think it is very hard to beat the UTG pro poi offerings at the moment for the optic you will be mounting.Im not sure, one of 4 guns, AEA Pro .357, FX .30 bulpup or .25 or , .177 air ventri bulpup
That is a hoax, M8 has the HYPER Bloc 100 with a 45cc plenum
If theyre not being problems I will try and shoo them away before a shoot is needed. Rodents starlings and pigeons are on-sight tho. Raccoons just entered the menu since there's a gang rooting up lawns for grubs. I'm unsure if raccoons are like crows, where you cap one of them in front of their homies and they don't come back for a year.I have a number of dairy farm permissions that I shoot pigeons and starlings at (mostly). I get some woodchucks at them too in the warmer weather. I generally leave crows alone as they tend to act as my "cleanup crew". ( they pick apart / carry off / eat the dead pigeons ) One of the property owners once asked my why I passed up on them - he was cool with that. As others have mentioned - they are very intelligent.
Those look great!A few days ago I got a .25 cal mag from @Tango Sierra to test out and it is WAY smoother, hold 2 extra rounds and can fit polymags just fine.

My scope is 12x, the max limit for pistol field target. I’m sure it has a better field of view and ranging capabilities than a 7x. Also, my parallax adjusts from 10m to infinity.I use pistol scopes on my pistols,no need to get your eye close to the pistol scope ;lBurris 7x pistol scopes on that pistol
1k is not a high dollar rifle anymore unfortunetly . It may be about mid grade price point for a regulated pcpSweet set up but you competed against high dollar with pretty high dollar.
