Thanks for responding Craig, today I removed that very same Center Point scope from my 34 (It was from my last G-1). I also have that same scope on my Diana 350, & so far it is "Holding"?? Those lower end Center Point (Leapers) scopes seem to be "luck of the draw" in my experience?? The upper end "TS" series on the other hand I think are pretty good. My Bug Buster proved to be bullet proof!! Thank you Craig for your kind offer,, this 34 Panther of mine was Super Tuned by Bob & Gene, it is VERY special to me, it shoots better than ANY break brl. I have ever owned,, It is worthy of the new Dampa mount I received from a special friend of mine in the Neatherlands, also deserves a Nice scope,, I am willing to "Horse Trade" my way into a nice piece of glass for it. Tim.
