So we just got my wife a gamo shadow whisper and it's got dovetail scope rail. My airguns all have weaver rails so I haven't had to deal with dovetails on a Springer in a long time but when I was younger I remember how much I hated them. What's the best scope rings at a reasonable price that won't walk backwards? And also what's a good light scope that's good for a beginner to learn. One of my favorite scopes is the bug buster but idk how well she would do with the adjustable paralax. So should I get her a fixed 4 power scope that i don't have to worry about paralax adjustments. Or do you guys think paralax adjustment is a must. Tia guys

Hey Cody, first congrats on getting your wife involved!
A one piece mount can be the solution you are looking for in rings. They have more grip area than standard 2 piece rings.
Hammers has one that I personally have had great luck with. $15 on Amazon.

As far as AO vs fixed... I would definitely get her an AO, even if she used the gun at a specific range each and every time, it is nice to be able to adjust the focus.
She could set it and forget it.
But if you plan on shooting a variety of targets at different yardages, say from 10-20-30 yards they are great to have.

For a while now I've been using a UTG MNT-DTW145 Universal Dovetail to Picatinny/Weaver Rail Adaptor (under 15$ on Ebay) along with a cheap set of Weaver Quad Lock rings. I ordered the adapter online and bought the Weaver rings at Walmart (rings cost under $10)................

Do what NCED does! ;D
Otherwise BLK rings are stout. Yes, airguns need parallax adjustment. 3-7X scope should be fine. Look at Hawke and UTG for cheapies.

I really like my Hammers... Hard to beat this Combo for under $55

nced, I have an abundance of Weaver / Pisatiny rings laying around... Majority of my guns have dovetail but my scopes come with picatiny rings.... That offset mount may be just the checker!

Thanks for the suggestions. I will def check it out. I'm very happy she had gotten into it. And she has bee. Practicing almost daily. Here soon I hope to take her on her first small game hunting trip
