I just got one and I cant keep the scope on
the factory rings lasted 200 shoot
then went to a one piece accu shot mount it is bending the back stop screw
any one else having these problems?

Hey Howard, welcome to GTA.
Yup, got that one and been through all that. Look at the Beeman one-piecers for Webleys with the transverse stop pin that will lay across those funky grooves in the WFH receiver.

Spendy, but that's what you need with a cannon like that.

Hey Howard, Welcome to the GTA. Ditto to what Daveshoot said. Get the Beeman 5038.

Welcome aboard Howard. Not real familiar with the WFH, but if you can get it tuned, I think everyone here would agree that it will turn into a better shooting, smoother, and less harsh recoiling gun. As for the one piece mount, I'd take Dave and Proguns' advice. The Beemans are kinda pricey, but well worth the cost in the long run, and save you alot of money replacing scopes. Best of Luck! tjk

I thought the WFH mount was designed for Weaver style rings. If it is then buy the proper rings and your problems are over.

Tuning is always a great idea and would certainly smooth it out. But... even tuned, the WFH is going to have one of the harshest firing cycles in the biz. It has a very heavy piston and a big ol' spring and that is just the way it is. It is one of the most powerful springers available, and there is only so much you can do before the equal and opposite reaction works against your scope mount. The machining of the rails is not the greatest either, at least on my .22, and this can affect the grip of conventional dovetail mounts.
The little factory stop pin that comes with the gun has been known to shear and has very little metal contact, so the Beeman mounts are the permanent solution. The cross stop pin on the 5038 mount will lay in one of the irregularly spaced grooves and simply cannot go anywhere.
