FVA just curious, what brand/model of scopes? Leu on mine and so far no troubles knock on wood. And you guys are right,it is a heavy and expensive gun. Bought mine LNIB very affordable and accurate. Have shot a few 5 shot groups at 50-55 yards the .5 range. Some a wee bit tighter. Squirrels? Hard to catch a pellet in one. Zip right through.
A Bushnell Trophy and then a Weaver 3-9 Adj. AO rim fire scope. Broke the lens on that one. Finally spent the money and bought a Leupold 3x9x33 AO and all was well until I sold the rifle pretty much solely due to it's weight. It was a great rifle.
