Are you going to leave the Hatsan naked for a while or put the scope back on?

For plinking on the farm sights are ok but I like the scope for distance!



I got the inspiration to cut the barrel off a bit from looking at the RWS 34P Pro Compact, with it's 15.75" barrel.

I ended up putting the Hawke 3-12x44 on the Hatsan.

The RWS is getting a Hawke 3-9x40 AO. Should be here in a few days.
