That is the recoiless correct?  Nice looking German piece for sure!  How do you like sidelevers?

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

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.

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.
