[QUOTE="Kirk, post: 4841750, member: 967"] Just based on all the problem I had with mu UTG I would go another direction. I honestly thought it was the air rifle that was inconsistent at first. I pulled the scope off of the rifle then vised the rifle down in my Hy-Score rest. Got a big piece of 3' x 3' cardboard to use as a target and set up about 25 yards from the target. Shot three rounds and all 3 were almost in the same hole. I knew it wasn't the rifle then. I remounted the scope and set up at 50 yards was shooting 6 inch groups. The scope had almost no adjustment left on it. Took it off again. Dialed it back to factory zero. Shimmed the scope and finally got it to quarter size groups at 50 yards. I have had to tweak it several times since to keep that grouping. The Hawke scope was dead on and set after 3 shots and has been accurate with 1 inch groups at 50 yards ever since. I did a lot research on air rifle scopes and the Hawke was the top rated scope under $200 and that is why I went with it. I have been very pleased. [/QUOTE]
