Is there any reason a droop compensating scope mount could not be used on a pcp? Asking because I have a nice 1 piece weaver base sitting unused and I’m wondering if I can put it on my new bsa r10? I know I can use the 2 piece rings that came with the scope but I like 1 piece bases more.

They are often used for long range shooting with pcp's.

few things why a droop or canted mount is helpful, first is if youre running out of elevation adjustments just to get zeroed in 40-50yds,
2nd is to dial in scope to aim at far range without holdovers,,and even stretch it out more, by dialing and holdover

i use a drooper mount from utg it give me about 27-28 moa additional,, allows me to plink at 150 yards, no hold for elevation, just windage

I use the UTG drooper mount on my AF Talon-SS as I was unable to adjust my Hawk scope low enough to get it down to a 20 yd zero for the backyard.
Don't know how to compensate Chairgun for the mount.
But it works for my needs.
Gets me a 20 to 10 yard aim point on my MAP6 reticle...

No, mounted normally.
Had to tilt the scope down to compensate at short range for the 3 1/2" high scope mounting position.

okay.. i usually just center elevation adjustment,, and call it my base zero,, and dial in at what ever distance i want to shoot,, and redial back to base zero after,,so my scope springs are always relax

I only shoot my Talon in the back yard, on CO2.
Maximum range 25 yards...
Mostly starling sniping, with an occasional chipmunk that my cat ignores.
I ran out of vertical adjustment before achieving my desired zero.
Hence, the drooper mount.
If I ever get to shoot at longer ranges I'll shoot my MROD on HPA...
