    Is there problems with the optics?

    You are correct REAPER0D, Dick's Sporting Goods does not carry 22. As a matter of fact the sales agent told me that he was not sure if Dick's sells any 22 ammo. I did not see any on the shelves. I did order a Crosman Nitro Venom NP, .22 with scope at Walmart. It should be delivered to the...
