I bought an air gun to get rid of the squirrels and chipmunks that are raiding my bird feeders. I did a little research on the model that I chose, but really did not do much homework.
I read that the scope that came on my choice was basically trash, so I ordered another scope when I ordered the rifle. Now I am waiting for my 3rd scope after about 1000 rounds!
I have enjoyed the rifle, and even bought another so I have both 177 and 22 cal, but will not buy another rifle/scope until I am comfortable that it will stand up to some use.
I am impressed with the accuracy that I can get from these rifles, but the industry needs to solve the problem of springers eating scopes!
Sorry if I am coming across as negative here, that is not my intent. Just expressing my surprise.
