There was a time when I could hit 1" plates at 30-40 yards with the open sights on my Remington Vantage (now a Crosman Vantage). Back then, I sort of concluded I was better off with the sights than having the scope on it, based on the scope being mounted to the piston/receiver, and the barrel perhaps not locking up exactly the same every time. Now I'd be happy to do that at 10-15 yards. Eyes must not be as good. I'm considering putting a scope back on it and seeing where I'm at with it now, but I've long since lost the dovetail scope mount. I'd like to get some squirrels with it out to 20 yards. Before I spend money on trying this out, it is even worth it or will I just wind up tossing it again?
