I ordered a Leapers 3X9X40AO Mildot and a medium height 1 pc mount and it arrived yesterday. I intend to try this on my Gamo 1250. I think the Bushnell (5X15X40 Mildot) that's on it gave up the ghost. A couple of weeks ago, I could not get any kind of reliable groupings with several different pellets at 50 yds at the gun range. I think the best I did was around 3.5 in and sometimes it wouldn't keep em on a paper plate. Plus there seemed to be no reason to how the pellets flew. Looked like patterning a shotgun. I checked and double checked the usual suspects (stock screws, dirty bore etc). While the same day, under the same weather conditions and same distance (50 yds outdoors), my RWS 350 w/ a Leapers 3X12X44 SF 30mm & Leapers 1 pc mount made some impressively small groups using Logun 16 gr Penetrators. Don't get me wrong, I like the 1250, and I hope and want to master it someday! It is a handlful, though.
PS I still have not chronographed my B-26 either. In the move of the house, I cracked 1/2 of the indoor lighting piece, both bulbs (of the chrono) and "misplaced" the fill probe for my AA 410 ERB. D'Oh! . Plus the "honey do list" is growing faster than I can manage. But I will mount up a scope and order a new lighting unit soon and replace the bulbs. The replacenment fill probe is $25.50 from Top Gun Airguns! I'll find it, if I have to turn the house upside down.
Regards
Nathan
