Delivery was good. Unboxing revealed a damaged scope box, but everything seemed o.k with the scope.
Unpacked and threw the scope on the couch...after reading all the bad reviews regarding the scope, I figured why bother. Just learn to shoot with open sites, after all its varmint control that does not require 50 to100 yd shots, or a scope for that matter.
I started with a open sites and small target of a 4-1/2" circle (Daisy red rider shooting target) at 21 yards down range. The Iron site are slightly off... so I have to aim a little high and to the left to hit the target....but I AM hitting the target (Bottom of Bush's baked bean can about 3-1/4" dia) at 21 yards every time!
Now the for infamous scope. When I first put the scope on on the rifle, I could not hit the target or the background board at 21 yards so I was a little worried. Removed the scope and re-centered both the upper and right & left dials. Remounted the scope and cut the distance to the target to 10 yards. From here I was able to get the scope dialed in pretty good. Moved back out to 21 yards and re-adjusted sites.
Scope works wonderful! See the photo's. I would consider these results to be very accurate. That little cat food tin was hit 4 out 4 times at 21 yards. That tin is less then 3" square. What more do you want from a scope ?I used the 2 x 4 to rest the barrel on so this was not total free hand. Different pellet styles work better then others.
This gun has plenty of kill power for small game at 21 yards for sure.
After getting the Barra TPR 1200 dialed in, I'm very happy with the purchase. Do I think the scope and or the rail will break down the road...probably at some point, but an aluminum rail is the fix for $12 if and when that occurs. This particular style ( spring loaded) is hard of scopes.
This air rifle is decent and so is the scope.
