Hey Robert,



Not knowing what model rifle that you intend to put it on, means I can only answer your question as asked !



The only Leapers scope that fits the magnum class is the LESCP3-416AOMDL - 4 - 16X56 AO SF TT. I don't have the current price, so check out the MALL for stores for pricing.



Best of luck !

I have a Leapers 4x16x50 AO Mildot Illuminated reticle on my RWS 350 .22 and my GAMO 1250 .22   and they have performed flawlessly for me.

Robert, I have a Center Point 4X16 AO with a Beeman 5039 mount on a Hunter Extreme and it has not failed...Yet.1500 shots. The trade off is this a very heavy scope which theoretically will be more likely to fail due to inertia. When or if it fails I will replace it with a Hawke 4X12 AO m.a.p. which I like a lot on another magnum springer.I don't like the Gamo mount because I needed windage and elevation adjustments on the mount and I hate to shim rings.

I would advise using the Accushot mount also,,,, they have never failed me yet...  As for shimming,,,,, you shouldn't have any problems with the GAMO Hunter Extreme, barrel droop is usually not an issue with the GAMO rifles.  RWS rifles on the other hand are known for droop and an adjustable mount is useful with them,, but the GAMO shouldn't give you any scope problems as far as windage and elevation adjustments....
