[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2212640, member: 87243"] Absolutely, when I was a little tike shooting a Norinco .177 break barrel springer at starlings, I saw a reticle from a Walmart bushnell strait up snap, and another fell out of place. After that I got another cheapo scope, but was specifically designed for air rifles, and it held up. Now I avoid that issue, I just use pcp air rifles ha ha. But to greatly summarize what Kirby said, what needs to be done on a firearm like this, is to use a full length rail, #8 or larger screws, pinned in place with 2-4 pins, and use at least 3, 4 being better, high quality scope rings, he prefers the Nightforce extreme duty rings, with two pushed forward against the rail lugs, and two pushed to the rear. I have #8 screws, and plan on doing everything else he advised. I'm thinking this should make a heck of a difference. Now I'm excited to see how my rifle performs once I get everything put together!!
