Put bluntly ,when Theoben`s patents expired,everybody started to churn out gas-rams/springs and most can`t be repaired easily when they go south.The original Theoben items were user fixable provided you had the pump that Theoben marketed to repressurise your Ram.Over here in the U.K.,rifles like the Nitro have sealed units, so you have to buy a new one rather than fix it; but they aren`t expensive at all, so that`s o.k..As for scope eating;in truth it is a bit of a lottery, I had a Theoben Fenman which was really smooth,but a friends vintage Scirroco was a demon and killed many a scope!(probably non airgun rated ones, as back in the day there weren`t that many on the market) ,yet I`ve never come across a Benji/Crosman that was that over-harsh and the HW90/RX1s are sweet-hearts!!

With the sharper/crisper recoils they tend to be more hold sensitive rather than less, at least in my experience. I've converted to gas rams for the noise reduction and have found no decrease in hold sensitivity at all.here is some bad news to me -.- my 125 is so "dang" hold sensitive, its sensitive even to joints in my hand 0.0 i just don't like thisMy H-135 shoots best with a open hand and almost no pressure with the trigger hand. Also make sure your not putting your cheek on the stock heavily. Lighten up the way you are holding the rifle. Your groups will tighten up and you will not feel it in your joints.Bryan

My Mod125 is the same way, if you try to lock it down your going to miss. You want the gun to float in your touch as you shoot, just enough pressure to control it but not restrain it.
