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...

I own a Cayden,, and if I have one complaint of the rifle it would be the design allowance of ammo entering the action through the forward area of the bolt face!!! It is my own fault! But that's the way the action is made. This ONLY happens while using the single shot sled .... never has...

I saw the post/reply the other day about SCUBA gun and it made me chuckle to myself.... to each his own though! (y) I'm also a traditionalist when it comes to an aesthetically "eye-appealing" air rifle. My eyes never warmed up to a forward mount bottle gun.... and I won't likely ever own...

My .02 .... I understand the simplicity of a springer for your needs, but realistic kill shots at 50 yds may be a stretch for the pests mentioned. Slowing them down (wounding-maiming) for closer kill shots are doable for certain with springer or pcp. But.... in my pcp experience(s)... one shot...

Ole' standby favorites of mine are the Hawke Vantage 3-12 SF and the (no longer attainable) Nikon ProStaff Target EFR 3-9 (y)

I still own 3 lesser quality break barrel rifles that "had" terrible triggers.... these rifles all now have CharlieDaTuna triggers and shoot much better! Not certain if the CDT triggers are still readily available or not? Never tried the RC car bearing mod, but as many will attest, it too...
