Scope cap cover pops off
I use o-rings to fill the slot. Either 3/32 or 1/8 inch (I forgot the diameter, but simple enough to measure). I try to get them fairly tight to keep the eyepiece from rotating. Kinda like killing two birds with one pellet 
, makes for more holding strength for the cover and keeps the eyepiece from moving. I've used both round and square in 1/8" diameter on several scope that work really well. Keep meaning to get some 3/32" square, they seem to be a better fit for most of my scopes.

Idea for an "Ultimate PCP Competition"

Hello @balverHey folks. I'm an airgun enthusiast who has very little shooting experience, and an airgun forum enthusiast who has logged onto AGN every day for three and a half years. I've read with interest stories regarding airgun competitions and which brand of rifle was used by those that took the top spots. Often stated is the question of whether it was the "arrow or the Indian." This got me to wondering how those variables could be accounted for in a competition between top shooters. Please forgive my naivete and let me know if you think my idea has any merit at all. Here goes. I propose a competion of five to 10 competitors shooting rifles at 100 yards, each using the same rifle. Shooters to be chosen from among the high finishers at current large events. Invite all manufacturers to submit one stock rifle, tuned by someone in their company to shoot the projectile of their choice. Maybe have the same scope on each rifle, and also let each manufacturer glean/sort enough projectiles to fully cover sight-ins and competion shooting. Allow each shooter enough time/shots to familiarize themselves with the platform, then on to competition shooting. Repeat for each brand of rifle. I'm sure there are a host of reasons that this idea won't work, but I'm curious what this community thinks. How to score such an event is way above my pay grade, but I would be interested to see who would prevail and which rifle posted the overall highest score. Maybe AGN could sponsor? Also, any attempts to name such a shooting event the Balver Cup are pure conjecture.
I like your idea
. I do not think that "paid experts / sponsored shooter / factory expert" needs to be the person chosen to be the "Shooters" for you competition. In fact some "Top Shooters" from this Forum, to me, would be the better choice, and here is why: the Shooters that make up this Forum ( and other Forums ) represents the vast majority that purchase and shoot the various "Brands / Models" of PCP air rifles.Break your competition into two events:
1) Have a "shoot off" among Forum members and pick the Top Ten with 2 to 4 "extras" for back up.
2) Let the Top Ten then compete as you have outlined.
"Average Airrifle Joe" member of the Forum would then have a pretty good idea of each Brand and Model of air rifle that was tested as to which one he would most likely purchase.
Good luck,
ThomasT

Accidental Hunter
I have five gandkids and six RedRyders in that corner.
I've often thought about building an old sheriff style gun rack for them, with a Daisy double barrel on the right hand side.

Accessories SOLD Big Bang Pellet Trap
- Member Classifieds

Aluminum with steel backing plate pellet trap, aka "Big Bang Pellet Trap". Fabricated by a forum member's friend, and sold a bunch to forum members here.
I've got too many other hobbies and stuff going on so am getting out of air gunning, for now anyway, and need to sell this pellet trap.
I've only shot a few tins of pellets at it, and had it set up with 3/4" horse stall mat fastened to the front (see pic), and it worked great to drop the velocity. There's no damage at all to the steel backing plate.
Selling for $135 shipped, CONUS, PayPal
