What you have is slight barrel droop. It's very common with many springers. Even fine RWS Diana air rifles. To compensate, use the above forementioned method, buy higher sitting scope rings, or purchase a scope with an adjustable objective.

Thanks for the ideas so far... I am not opposed to getting a new scope, would my existing rings be ok or should I replace those too? I'll check out the Leapers, I saw a nice looking Center Point locally too for around $60 or so, seemed really nice. I have read a bunch about springers being hard on scopes, am I going to have issues with it going bad quickly? Hate to spend on a new scope and have it go to pot in a hurry. Thanks
Ditch the Gamo Scope and Purchase a Leapers........A world of difference.
Looked like you had a bum Gamo scope....no big loss since "Package" scopes tend to fail in under 500 shots....some sooner, some later. I've Gamo and Crosman air rifles that came with scopes....most failed in the 500 to 800 shots range. A few failed completely and most had "Moving" crosshairs: 10 to 15 excellent shots and then the point of impact changes.BTW...a big welcome to the GTA forum and family.
