Is the scope and mount adequate? Spring guns are hard on both and there is much talk about researching and obtaining the right combination.

I can't miss with mine. I hit a grouse about 80m out, and consistently hit my mark. With other guns like the Varmint Hunter, 25 Benjamin Nitro, I miss a lot. After hundreds of rounds, I realized that its due to the relationship between the triggers and the sighting. Basically the German gun is primo engineering and from the trigger pull on its great. I have all stock parts on mine and won't change a thing. Its ready for action.

I have had this rifle for several years and have shot it a lot, though I'm not shooting hundreds of rounds a month through it either. The mount and scope seem built like a battleship and have held zero like a champ through all this. I'm very pleased with this rifle, though as stated it is on heavy side, especially with scope, and it's a workout to cock it (at least for an old guy). It is hard hitting and more accurate than I can shoot it. I have three RWS rifles, and they a cream of the crop German hardware.

I bought a different mount, because I too was concerned but never ended up using it. So far I haven't had any issues with the one it came with. Shot it close to 200 times, pretty darn accurate!

I use the gun mostly for fun and have neither had it very long or really abused it.... Having said that - the scope meets my needs. If you are using this for hunting, serious pest-control, or just demand the best - you will probably want to upgrade the scope. Then again, if you are that serious, you are probably looking at the wrong gun entirely.

It is a great mount, however, I have bought three, one is on a G3, 91 and another on a 93. They ALL required fitting to each weapon. Which means that the inside of the mount where it meats the receiver, has to be gently filed nice and slow and fitted to the width of the receiver a little at a time until it clamps with the right effort. I assume that even HK fits their scope mounts to each rifle and issue them together, like all previous German snipers were.

if you have a rail then all you would need is scope rings that mount to it. you should have no problems & its a sweet scope

You have to use the high mounts that come with it. Works nice and the recoil doesn't seam to affect it. If your AR has a handle a lower style mount would be better. The scope is decent for the price. Eye releave works well but have to set for higher magnification and will work better through all magnification adjustments.

I have the same mount. It does fit. I've tried a couple different scopes and none feel tight to me. The stock is just short. I just use the see through iron sights. The scope itself is great for the price. I use it on my AR15. I've shot over 500 rounds. And no problems yet.

you would have to get the proper mounts for it... that looks like a good scope! Enjoy

Won't be an issue - the scope is solid. Just use a quality mounting system. Have fun sniping

Yes, I am using that mount with this scope. It's a great combination on an AR.

Yes. It is perfect. I have had it for about a year now. It is very easy to transition from the scope to your iron sights. It is a very durable mount and easy to install even if you don't have a lot of experience with guns.

I think so. You're getting a whole unit for less than the price of a good mount. Mine is on a 15-22, and it holds up during shooting, but loses zero during transport in its soft case.

All you need is high quality bbs and and adjust the hop up just right and you shouldn't even need a scope but if you use low grade bbs such as Crossman or anything along those lines, you can expect a few problems and jams. I recommend game force, tsd, or g&g;

Check out the Hawke scopes. It has to be rated for spring action and Hawke scopes are the best for this.

The rifle is definitely powerful enough to ethically kill squirrels and chipmunks, but you will definitely struggle with the accuracy, and you will need to practice the 'artillery hold', but this is the same for any break barrel spring or nitro piston powerplant rifle. A good scope with AO (adjustable objective) will help tremendously. The package scope is junk. I actually paid more for my scope than I did the rifle. A decent budget scope is the Hammers 3-9x32. A good clean/deburr and tune will also help with the accuracy and consistency. These rifles sometimes need hundreds of shots, if not a thousand to break in - but that can also be when the internals begin to wear out. I've tuned my rifle with a vortek pg2 kit, and am now re-breaking it in. The original piston seal failed after about 1.5k shots.

If you mount this on a spring piston air rifle,the warrenty will no doubt be lost as will the scope. My RWS would destroy this in about 100 shots. Just a friendly warning.

Due to the 50mm size of the scope you will need the high mounts. Otherwise, the scope will be in contact with barrel and will not allow for proper mounting.

Ihave mine on a 12 ga as well, it hasnt exploded or anything yet, seems to be holding up fine to recoil,the mount is solid and it seems like a stout design, overall.

hey jason, I ended up with this set after returning another. the key is the the rail at the scope mount is the right size. I put it on a low cost savage arms .22 rifle it did the trick and still allows me to utilize the iron sights if I want. The best thing to do is find out amazons distributor and give them a call and ask. Thats what I did when I ordered the second ones. Nice gun that henry golden boy. i almost bought one but decided to go a bit more economical
