bought a air gun at bass pro shop (Guidehawk 22) which included a center point 3-9x32 scope. $75.00 (after mail in rebate) tried to set the scope got it good at 40ft 1" group in 3 shots. next day took 5 shots at 50ft , shots were all over the place grouping 8" at 50ft. did i make a bad buy? I check the mounts, tight, didnt change the zoom and used a bench to hold steady . next i removed the scope and put on a $5 red dot scope. reset the adjustment and the grouping stated within 1" in 50 ft . is this the best it gets? are scopes sloppy in side? does the gun need to be "broken in"? thanks for any help.

Welcome, Don. Pose your question in the proper gate for experienced responses. This section is used for, (as instructions explain) for newcomers to introduce theirselves and their interests to existing members. Kind of a "meet-n-greet" so to speak.
