Welcome to air rifle world...

If the scope is not an “air rifle” scope.. all bets are off..

But don’t be dismayed when you find out the air rifle shoots damn poor groups... cuz they are famous for that...

The scope is mounted on the action and the pellet is loaded into a barrel not attached in any meaningful way, to the action...


But the iron sights should be on the barrel, so they should be a little better.

Did a bunch of reading on air rifles after I got this one for Christmas. What I understand is not many of them, of this type, aren't much good beyond 25 yards at all. Which is ok to me. After all, it's still just a pellet gun. There's a ground hog burrowing at the Stamp which makes him public enemy #1. While this might not kill him, maybe it will scare him off. But the main reason I took an interest in it is because ammunition is cheap. And good for paper targets. The rest of the ammunition I have is too expensive, anymore, for plinking at paper targets.
A guy where I work has an air rifle he uses for deer hunting and has taken a few with it but it's one of those that is astronomically higher in air pressure and it's price is right up there too.

Got a question for all the scope gurus.
This is concerning my Ruger air rifle. It came with a Ruger 4x34 scope that I changed out to a Weaver 3-9x40 because it had a brighter picture. Started the sighting process at 10 yards using a 55 gallon barrel as the target. Shot a marker impact to use as a target then took 5 more shots. All about 1 inch low and a half inch to the right. Scope says 1 click is 1/4 inch at 100 yards. Did one click up and reshot. No real change. 2nd-4th shots I adjusted 1 click. Still no change. So I spun the adjustment 10 clicks. Still no change.
Changed back to the Ruger scope and got the same results. Then I just removed the scope and used the iron sights. It was better, about an inch low but straight under and was able to adjust it to where I was 1/4 inch off target 5 shots in a row. 2 bad scopes? Or am I missing something?

Adjust it more. I ran into the same thing with my 460 smith with a handgun scope. Had to turn it a whole lot to make any diff at 50 yrds. 10yrds is gonna take a whole lot. 1 click is like 1/32” or maybe less at 10yrds. Any scope should work though in all honesty. As long as it has enough range of adjustment to zero out.

Levi has a Benjamin .22 air rifle..
Jeremy Shockey special...

Lol...

If I had that thing, I’d throw the mf’ing thing in the dumpster and be done with it.

Had a .22 Benjamin more'n 60 years ago it was new. Wore it out on squirrels and stuff around the TV tower. Lotta room. Lawyers convinced em to fence out every one since then

These new ones make real good power, they’ll kill bout anything a .22 LR would, I just wish they spent more thought and effort on sighting.

Mornin’ Kenneth and Mark.

Not yet...

I want one, but I think they start at $20K and go north from there..
And don’t cut grass and weeds . Not sure how they handle big rocks, steel posts, and mason blocks.

You need to bring that mulcher to my place and do a demo.

I think that depends on which style teeth you get. I’ve been looking as well. Seems fae is a preferred brand. I would think the ones with the carbide bludgeoning teeth would handle that well enough.

Steel posts are no problem for the terminator [emoji43]‍[emoji94]
Oops didn’t know that was there [emoji33]

With those teeth, I’d think making small mulch might be harder..

The whole idea behind those things is to take 5 acres of woolly brush and trees and make it into a park like setting with mulch walking trails... lol

Yes I want the style with the big flat chisel style teeth. Even if I have to sharpen them with a grinder every now and then I would think it would mulch better than the beater style some brands use. But I doubt they r very tolerant to cinder blocks and t posts though.
