[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1213374, member: 2011"] engineer40, You and I are floundering in their same water. My problem are squirrels and those horrible sounding, obnoxious eu bar neck doves. My friend is a dedictated pigeon & bar neck hunter. Scored over 1500 (not a typo) last year. Going for 2000 this year. He uses a Benjamin Marauder 22 cal with longest shots a bit beyond 100 yards. MV is about 840 and very very quiet. 500 bucks is a bit overboard for me so I settled for a Benjamin Steel Eagle (Jim Stockey endorsed :D) The Center Point scope that comes with isn't worth squat. Swapped it once after 2 weeks. Shoots darn good. Very tight groups. Longest dove kill was 62.5 yards. Then....I couldn't duplicate it. Random zero shifts drove me nuts. Swapped for an identical a scope. Thought I was in hog heaven. Groups were even smaller and zero held throughout their day. But, 2 days later zero shifted. What a pain. In their morning she's going in a vice to determine if it's the rifle or the scope. What ever doesn't pass them test is going back to their local cabelas. Oh shooting these things is way different than shooting a real rifle. Consistency is imparative. [/QUOTE]
