I have another Athlon Heras 6-24x56 coming for my R9. I currently have one on my HW50s. I am starting to shoot Hunter Field Target at the moment. My HW50s is at about 11 ft/pounds and my R9 is just shy of 15. Both are .177.
I bought Sportsmatch 30 mm High (HT036C) for the HW50s. Because there is only 2 inches between the end of the scope and the loading port the sunshade won’t fit. Never mind - that’s not the fault of the mount. Also, the scope is so close to the receiver that the lens cap won’t fit either. I can live with that as well.
My question is what mounts would you recommend for the same scope and the R9? I’m going to take the Hawks off it. I believe there should be enough length to accommodate the sunshade and the lens cap, but I don’t want them to touch the receiver.
I’ve looked on the forum, and YouTube and seen options, but it would be helpful if someone with a HW95/R9 would chime in. I see that some worry about the fully adjustable one piece mounts shaking with recoil. There are some individually adjustable two piece mounts, but I am not clear on how one can adjust an individual mount without making uneven pressure on the scope tube?
