I still own a few Nikon EFR scopes, a couple of which sit atop break barrel air rifles (NitroVenom - Beeman R9) and they've held up well... though I'll admit I don't shoot these rifles everyday. These scopes were advertised as air gun rated and I did use one of mine on a 460 RWS for a while...

Back when I registered on this site... my stable included a 350 - .177 and 2 other .22 RWS rifles... thus, my screen handle thinking. Today, I have zero RWS rifles, and though they were attractive, decent performers back when I owned them, I made a decision to move on... mostly into pcp and...

Another "barrel is lower than scope view" story... Several years ago at my mother-in-laws home, an over population of red squirrels needed to be addressed. I stepped up and kept one of my .22 break barrel guns + ammo stowed in another room in her home for her adult son to use whenever I wasn't...

Brand new ?! shooting like that ? I'd be calling for a fully paid Return Authorization from the dealer and a replaced rifle.

Another thing to consider with ANY (un-etched reticle) scope mounted on a break barrel gun.... barrel droop and over-adjusting the reticle to make up for droop will stress the internals,, that along with the spring gun recoil can shorten the life of the scope. I've had fairly decent results with...

Keep it simple... go with a Hawke or UTG 4x and a UTG one-piece solid mount.

This next stretch of spring-like weather may get them stirring even more... I'm in sw Trumbull Co with a lot of woods around so I'll be on the lookout. (y)

Welcome ... Much over-whelming and expensive advice mentioned already .. I add to it. :) I had a 350 Diana in .177 ... possibly one of the toughest break barrel rifles to learn to shoot consistently, in my opinion and I no longer have that frustration. I'm several years your junior... but...

I have a Cayden.... and IF your Kratos receiver is designed the same... the drop-in style "can" allow the pellet to slide rearward - into the action and jam things up IF you happen to raise the forend of the rifle before levering the ammo into the breech. Can only speculate on the swing-out...

My .02 .... Agree with the others about adding or not adding band. My situation for adding was about woods-walking - rifle slung over my shoulder and getting home finding a broken twig stuck firmly in between my FX Classic barrel and tank tube. Yes.... had I needed to take a quick shot at...

My .02 cents..... For me, 3-12 AO or SF is an excellent setup and rarely use power over 6 for target or pests, unless viewing holes in targets. Hawke 4x with AO will focus under 15ft and a nice scope for not much $

I have a Rocker 1 that is 1"x 7" and does a good job of quieting. Only reason I'm not using ..... I prefer shorter mods.

If you can locate harvested corn fields and get permission to walk them, you will likely be able to find all the feed you need laying on the ground - missed or "kicked out" by the corn harvesting combine. The local farmer in my area allows me to walk his fields and pick up any stalks/cobs the...

AirMax reticles are etched... not wire... thus the increase in cost.

In my experience',, the Vantage series scopes perform better - last longer on lighter recoiling rifles or pcp. I won't/can't say your 2-7 Vantage will break after a few shots or a tin(s) of ammo, but plant the seed of possibility of failure in your head. Some things I learned from other...
