I have just recently purchased a Beeman RX-2. and need suggestions for a set of rings, mount and scope. I am told it is a scope eater. Feels like full power on the gas ram. Someone mentioned the Diana Bullseye Zero-Recoil Mount 1" Rings. Looking for something for the long haul. Thanks.
New toy, need advice

I think the diana bullseye is junk as it comes from the factory. I sent mine back but I have seen videos of folks doing a little work to modify them to work properly. So does your rifle come with dovetail rails? Does it have a scope stop hole in it? Also would you need low, med or high mounts? Need more info.

I use the BKL one piece mount on my LGU with good results. But, the recoil on it is smooth and comes in around 11 ft lbs.

The RX is pretty stout to cock, but recoil does not seem unreasonable. The BKL looks very nice.

I would either go with this bkl 11mm to picatinny adapterhttps://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/BKL_3_8_or_11mm_Dovetail_to_Weaver_Adapter_4_Long_Matte_Black/2923 then slap some good weaver low profile mounts for 12 bucks or so. or you could just get two sets of cheap 11mm scope rings from pyramid air. One of each will have a scope stop in them. Double up those since your gun has several scope stops and use e6000 to lock in the screws. E6000 works better than blue locktight but it's still removable without stripping threads. Even utg and cheap rings will hold zero if you tighten down and glue properly. Bkl generally will hold better due to extra screws and better threads. Also picatinny should be pushed to the rear instead of the front like you do with powder burners because on a springer the main recoil is opposite than on a powder burner. Maybe someone else here can recommend better dovetail rings other than utg or cheap stuff. Good luck buddy. I wish airgun companies would start making all rails pic rails and solve this problem.

I had the Diana Bullseye on my 52 then moved it to my 54 and shot these groups with it. So it did quite well with no werq being done to it. It is a great mount and saves on scopes as well. Just bought another for my Diana 45 it ate six scopes thus far.

I heard there were some poorly made copies out for a time masquerading as the real deal and they were garbage.

Thanks for the infor Raden, will try to find where they modified the Diana mount The theory seems sound. The dovetail with weaver conversion, never thought of that. Will look into it. Seems the biggest problem is securing the base to the rifle where it will not move. The one piece BLK looks solid and strong. So you say, place the lock tite or similar to the base screws also?

Biohazard, I followed your link to the other post. What was it about the Hawke that gave you doubts. Been considering the AirMaxx for the RX-2

Yeah just the base screws and the scope Ring screws. Also I should say that I never owned a diana bullseye but saw tons of videos on it and when I kept hearing the same problem over and over I just decided to wait for the technology to be perfected. It's possible that diana fixed it right away and everything is cool now. Im just saying what I heard. It's definitely one way to go and bio is a trusted source of info for me so your probably safe to try it out. Have a good one.
