Does the R9 require a droop mount?

Mine hasn't: however, I did center my scope before mounting it on the R9.

Some guns may require a droop mount and others of the same make and model do not. It's a gun by gun thing.

HW made rifles such as the R9 usually do not have barrel droop.

If not droop, how bout an up swept barrel. The last 3 R9's I got were all that way....of course the first one was bad , and the replacements came from the same batch.....That was some time ago....
Yes they can have droop.Any AG can have droop.
Remedy= bend it!
Happy Shootin To All!

I know you want a firm answer but what everyone else said is correct. It just depends on the rifle they send you. HWs aren't too bad. Droop does not bother me as my R11 has a ton of it and it is the best shooting spring rifle I own.
