I recently bought a different scope for my FX Wildcat. I bought the gun last year and mounted an affordable Nikko Stirling 4-16x44 scope on the gun. The scope did just fine, but I was never very consistent when hunting or shooting. I was always thinking it was just me, the gun, or something else. Well I recently bought an Athlon Argos 6-24x50 FFP scope and it has completely changed everything. I am shooting my gun a lot more already. It has made shooting about 100x more enjoyable. Now when I see a squirrel on the bird feeder I won't send the dog out to scare it away, but I'll go ahead and take care of them. I have killed 6 squirrels in 3 days, which might not sound like much, but that's just when I see them. I haven't gone out searching for them but twice a day.
Overall the new scope has changed the experience with my gun quite a bit. I should have not skimped on a cheap scope on such an expensive gun to begin with, but now I'm happy to have learned what I was doing wrong. If anyone else is experiencing general airgun frustration then I would recommend spending the money on a different scope and seeing if that has any effect.
I hope that someone will learn something from what I've learned.
