Just ordered new scope

[steveak]

For the Diana 34 in 177 cal I ordered earlier this week. I ordered a UTG 3- 9 X 40 X 1" hunter.

and a mizugiwa 1 piece high profile magnum A mount I hope this all works out I'm excited like a kid and can't wait to get started on this hobby. Hope I didn't make 2 many beginner mistakes already, next will be accessories like cleaning kit pellets and pellet pen. Thanks to all the help or tips on this site.

If you are going to use that scope on a springer you probly will need to do this to it at sometime in the near future. I have not had good luck with the UTG, Hawke, or Falcon scopes on my springers for even short periods of time.

Bioman is spot on here. I have the exact same scope on a PCP and gas piston and both needed it. You can see a pic of what many members did to solved the problem. Other than this issue the scope is great. It holds zero, repeats and tracks perfectly. One thing of note on this scope is although poi will not shift with power changes when going from number to number in the same direction the poi will change slightly when changing directions. This is true on both my scopes so I always adjust to the desired power form high to low, Either way will work you just have to decide whether you want to lose a little at the top or bottom.
