My first foray into airguns. Rescued an older Beeman A7 today. It has a little Beeman 3-7 'Blue Ring' scope mounted improperly as one of the cheapo mounts wasn't engaged in the grooves.

It has what I believe is a scope stop in place. I'm struggling to get the scope mounts set up ~properly so I can see if this thing shoots before I start putting money into a better scope/mounts.

Please explain the scope stop placement...is it intended to be in contact with the front of the rear mount? Or to the rear?

I'm very new to this springer airgun two directional recoil thing.
