beeman R10 help

[staticbags]

i have my dads r10. has barely been shot and sat in my safe for last few years. I want to use it to shoot rats at night. (i have a problem). can anyone here help me with optics?

i have put two different scopes on it over past 20 years. Neither holds 0. last one was a cheap Academy AIR gun scope.... still not working..

I actually prefer peep sites on this gun but I don't think that would work well shooting rats at night with green laser flashlight?

so i am looking for advice on what to use to site it.. (my stock rear site is missing the "blade". I need advice on what is best site/ light combo to shoot rats in dark.

thanks...

also, any advice on who to send it off to and get it reworked/ tuned. it seems to shoot hard now but has not been looked at ever.

This might be helpful and save you from having to buy another scope or fixing your sights.

I am not aware of any springer rated night vision scopes and all six of my regular scopes got ate by my Diana 45. A inexpensive PCP and a Chinese pump 300-$400 would solve that problem. But then you need the scope. I have both the ATN X-sight 4k pro, Sightmark photon and a DIY unit I put together. They all work great as does teh Pard 007 and 008

I've had good luck with Bushnell scopes on springers, and Leapers as well, with the exeption of the Bug Buster, had a '48 eat one of those in about 5 or 4 shots.

I've had good luck with this UTG. Been on both my Sig ASP20 and Diana 34. Both known to be not scope friendly.

so what you are saying is it might be better if i don't use the r10 for night shooting but rather get me a new pellet rifle? I need some help since my up to date stops around 1988 when my dad purchased the r10. I also have his benjamin pump which he gave me as a kid... with open sights it is very accurate.. when i was a kid, i glued a peep site on it and shot wasp on the shed walls. I had the benjamin reworked a few years back and its great.

So, if you or anyone would educate me and suggest what type/ brand pellet gun i should get to shoot rats inside /outside in 30yrd MAX distances. something i don't have to cock or pump up seems to make more sense.

I love guns and don't mind adding to my collection esp. if i have a reason to tell the wife i "need" this.

RWS or Hammerli 850 in 177caliber is the first thing that comes to mind based on your criteria. YO!
