got her sighted in and killed 2 starlings today. now to figure what scope would work best
-
That is the recoiless correct? Nice looking German piece for sure! How do you like sidelevers?
-
yes it is recoilless . im getting used to it. great accuracy with fixed barrel. my first side lever . its suprizing the first shot smoothe and you dont feel a thing when it fires. and thank you on the nice comment
-
Very nice! My wife shoots one in .22. These 54's can give a PCP a run for there money. ;D
For scopes your best bet is one that is light and mounted on a Dampa mount. ;D
Good luck

Beautiful Gun. One day I will own one.

Congrat on that beauty! Man i like the look of the side levers. And great job sniping the $)((# birds.

Bushnell elite 3200 is what I used on my 54 for 3 yrs. After first sight in never had to resight again. Bit more costly yes, but so much cheaper in the long run, as the 54 will have a hard time destroying it. They come up in on line classifides all along at some good prices.

i will have to give the bushnell a look thanks lucky me
-
Lucky,
How many shots would you say the Bushnell has endured over the three years you have had it?
-
1500-1800 rds. and is currently mounted on the kodiak 22 and you know what a cannon (mule kick it has)with approx. another 1000-1200 rds. and still great.

I love Bushnell scopes, the only thing I hate about them is that they almost, all the time, at least for me, require the adjustable one-piece mount because the elevation adjustments are so limited. When I had my D54, with a Bushnell Legend, I needed the adjustable mount. And even now, with my R9, R11, and HW97K, I still have to use the adjustable mounts with the Bushnell Scopes. So if you get a Bushnell, it's likely you'll need one of those mounts, unless you don't mind shimming.

I have 3 bushnell 5-15x40 Ao TT scopes mounted on a kodiak 22, R1 20, R1 22. all using BKL one piece mount, never had to shim? Also have (2) Epic Redhead airgun scopes 4-12x40 made by Leupold and they are excellent scopes.
