Doggone you guys! Now you're making me regret selling my gun! Seriously, I was worried about losing scopes. With my limited income, I can't afford to replace them. I know gas rams can be hard on scopes, almost as bad as springers. I am thinking of a gas ram with open sights for cool weather shooting. Maybe one of the cheap Crosmans will do. I plink a lot, so I wouldn't need a scope necessarily or impressive accuracy.

What I did is put aside like $50 each month. Now I have enough for the rifle and just got a 10-40x50 scope!

I'll probably never own one of those uber expensive high end PCPs, or even another Marauder. So we do what we can and enjoy what we have.

Oh no, you are turning her into an alcoholic! The bottles come from a 55 gallon plastic drum that was filled years ago when we had big parties out back.So they are long dry. As I shoot them, I collect the bits and carry them up to the trash cans. I'll be surprised if the CP scope goes bad on this AG. It doesn't have near the recoil the Walther or 125 has.
I wish I could clone that gun. I have the perfect range for it now. Maybe I'll build another one. Do you find it to be hold sensitive at all? I never noticed any issues when I had it.
The rifle had the really nice trigger installed when I got it. Is that a GRT trigger?

It's not real hold sensitive. I need to shoot different pellets to find it's preferred pellet.All I had was the Gamo 15.43 last time I shot it. They did pretty good but I have the CP hollows and rounds now also.
