    Need help with scope adjustments

    no your scope is fine. this happens to lots. remove your scope and shim under your rear scope mount saddle where the scope sits. you won't need lots so just use a soda pop bottle and cut 3/8 wide x 1 1/4 inch or so. lay it in the saddle then put your scope back & cap on and adjust your...

    thanks kitplanenut. I'm all set. I'm over the 2240. said the heck with it and just gonna stick with my springer rifle and just save for something better not needing mods.

    crosman 2240

    got to be honest. think I'm just gonna pass on buying the 2240. I don't want to buy something that needs all these mods. I thought I could buy a 50 gun and use as is. seems all I heard is about mods. I'm not looking to pour hundreds into a $50 gun. thanks to all that have responded.

    crosman 2240

    I could never see myself doing upgrades. when I purchase I will leave it as is. I wouldn't want to make a $50 dollar gun into something its not.i would just wait and buy a better gun not needing mods. just don't want to get caught up in that deal. will be buying one pretty soon.

    my experience with beeman silver kodiak x2

    sorry to hear that johnL57. must be I did. I really like this thing for what it is. can't beat low cost and excellent accuracy. I can put 10 rounds within a 3/4 inch circle @ 35 yards. hard for me to do much better then that.

    crosman 2240

    so I'm thinking about adding a crosman 2240 pistol to my portfolio. from what I've read on reviews it seems many like it for money spent. there seems to be lots of aftermarket upgrades available not that I will travel that road. I'd be interested in hearing from others that own this gun or have...

    ruger blackhawk elite defect

    i guess i could always see if i could resell this and go that route but who's gonna want it? i think my next move would to get away from a springer and maybe move to a benjerman .22 pump. i had one years ago but i was younger too. i bought the springer to get away from the hassle of pumping. co2...
