I just shot a squirrel in the head with open sites at 35 yards.

I have a Benji Disco and I like the way the rifle shoots, powerful and accurate, but I hate the hand pump way to much trouble for very litte shooting so it stay put up most of the time for that reason.When I get a bottle set up to charge the rifle then I will use it more I'm sure, the stock of the Disco is horrible also, ugly and uncomfortable are the first things that come to mind, but its functional, i plan to do some reshaping on mine and put a better finish on it in the future.I still like the springers though and I will be getting a better one in the near future, I've also considered going the Benji NP2 route.
I have owned a Hatsan 125 Mod Nitro Piston Thumb Hole model in .25, for a little over a year. It is the only BB I still own. I enjoy the simplicity of the rifle.This model even though it is modestly priced, still has the adjustable but plates, the Quart to trigger, the SAS feature, Truly open sights, has a pretty quiet report if you don't count the firm smack when the pellets hit the target backing. The barrel seal is deep and thick, and are good for a 1,000 rounds without noticeable loss in power. The soft rubber but is comfortable which is nice because this gun does recoil. Not for a 10 year old.
i have a leapers utg clone 4-16x40 scope in my 125 and its holding perfect for almost 1000 shots. You need a good solid scope mount and a leapers will withstand anything
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY 125 SNIPER 22 cal. I've only had it 6 months with maybe a tin of pellets down the pipe. I used 3 rings to mount a Center Point 4-16 x 40 on it. So far it has been very accurate and held zero fine. The scope hasn't moved a fraction since I installed it, once I got it set up I made witness marks so I'd know if it moved. It is way more accurate than I can shoot it. I can consistantlly shoot groups around the size of a quarter with CPHP's at fifty yards with it, plenty accurate for hunting. So far the only mod is longer screws in the trigger, other than that it's bone stock. I plan to use it only for hunting, it's already drew blood several times. I hunt a lot and have lots of hunting plans for it. I hope that it holds up well, this negative talk has me nervous though.

No drift in the POI?The reason I am asking is because someone here is claiming, I personally think it's an outright lie, that their Hatsan has ruined over 10 scopes because of the hard recoil. I think that a UTG or a CP scope that is designed to withstand air rifles recoil should not have much of a hard time keeping up with the Hatsan 125 or even the 135.What's your take on these scopes and the Hatsan 125? Which one did you use and how's your scope doing?
