The front part is for adjusting the parallax of the scope (for lack of a better term the "focus"). It should not affect the point of impact.

There are mixed opinions on using red dots on springers because of the recoil. We have tended to stay away from using them because of the recoil and even with the SAS system, Hatsan rifles still have some recoil. Cheers, AGW

Thanks for the input.. 1) if you have the factory scope it is technically an "airgun" scope, but it is a very cheap one.. don't expect much from it. 2) The point of impact of the center of the scope should NOT change when you zoom. If you are using mil-dots for hold over, it will change because the space between the dots changes at various magnifications. 3) look at Hawke Scopes rather. I've seen a drop in quality recently with Leapers UTG. Cheers, Rick

If you have the ability to test the velocity of the gun, I'd start there first. A better scope may help, but make sure the rifle's performing properly first. As for Marauder vs Spring gun.. The Marauder will be the better fit for the long term.. more power, more accuracy, no recoil. Cheers Rick

You are very professional and do a good job in your video's. However, I do have three questions that I didn't get answers to from this video. 1) I have a Crossman Titan GP Nitro Piston. Do I have a scope for airguns? 2) I keep hearing that the point of impact will change when I change the magnification of the scope. Others say that will not happen with a quality scope. Which is true? 3) What do you think about a "UTG 30mm AccuShot 4-16x44 IE Scope with SWAT AO Mil-dot, 36 Colors" for hunting?

I need your advice. After getting used to the NP Trail, I was consistanly grouping 5 shots inside a quarter at 15 yards. Then around 1600 shots the groupings opened up to 2" apart. After reapplying Loctite for the second time to the stock and scope, it won't zero back in. Could the Centerpoint scope that came with the gun be trashed? In the long run, would it be more cost effective to have a Marauder instead of replacing scopes for springers? Would a more expensive scope last longer?
