Yep, just springers like said. Thanks for the heads up though, Brownie. No sense anyone ruining a good scope and it never hurts to mention it when you see a pellet gun with a scope on it.
Hawke is a pretty popular scope for airgunners, but can also be used on a regular rifle, too. Even the lens caps are metal. It's HD. And as far as I'm concerned expensive for an airgun, but worth it. The large wheel is nice when adjusting objective/focus. I'll have to figure out the dots, as with the extra height of the scope over the bore, like an AR, there's a trajectory POI difference even from 10 yds to 15. Right now my porch is covered for the winter, but once I take the plastic down I'll get some set distances from my sun room to the pine tree, black walnut tree, fire pit... known hot spots :biggrin2:
If you haven't looked up the gun yet, this only has a 12" barrel. Amazing. You can buy different barrels for it not only for length (which drastically increases velocity in airguns), but also change calibers.
I've got around 50 pellets through it now, topping it off when I drop about 700 psi. I've got it dialed in on power setting 9 and am getting around 790 psi and sending them into one hole at 20 yds. That's with the forearm resting on my deck rail. Usually when I'm dinging red squirrels I'm standing with the gun resting on the top half of my window, so it's a similar hold.
Like any airgun, the more you shoot it the more it breaks in and I think it's just finding it's stride.
It would be nice if it was a repeater, but after cocking a springer for so long it like heaven just opening the breech, which also cocks it, and slipping a pellet into the barrel.
