I want to buy an one piece adjustable scope mount for my 350. I've look at a few different makes on the net but I 'm not sure what I should get. So far, I've looked at RWS, Beeman, B-square and the Dampa. Unfortunatly, I do not have access to handle these mounts as there is no one who carries them close by. As always, your input is appreciated!!
Sportsmatch, which are the same as the Beeman. They work well. A few weeks ago I also received some of the Hawke one piece mounts from Airguns Only in Edmonton. The quality is on par with the Sportsmatch/Beeman but they only cost CDN $18.00. I have the Hawke on an HW90 gas ram and so far it is holding everthing just fine.
I heard the Hawks went up in price in the last few days from airguns only. The price was very cheap for that type of mount!! I'll look on the web site later and verify if the price increase in true. I'd even look at a used one if you've got one kicking around talldog. Off topic abit but Chris Nicholson told me you may be selling your Crosman Quest. If you are, let me know, I may have a buyer for you.

Is probably the best of the bunch named, with brand names anyway. It's durable, simple enough to set up (for an adjustable mount, that is!), and allows windage adjustment if needed.
Those inexpensive mounts mentioned look interesting, and with a great price. I haven't tried them yet though. All adjustable mounts require thorough degreasing and use of threadlocker for best results.
Although on all my other Dianas they worked well, the C-Mount constantly loosened cause of recoil. I tried everything, cleaning and blue( and red) threadlocker anything I could think of. It would hold for a while then the front would loosen and the recoil would raise the scope objective up. I even tried ( no lie!) epoxy, and the recoil would crack the bond! Finally I went to a cheap one piece mount w/ external stop behind it. So far it's holding and hasn't shifted or changed zero. Because my rifle had some droop I filed the front of the mount to make a "drooper". At that time I was frustrated and was willing to try anything. After all it's a Fun Supply cheapo ( and 4X scope too), so I figured I wasn't out much if things went south with either the mount or scope. I personnaly find the B-Square a pain to adjust and I haven't tried them on a heavy hitter like the M350. I don't have any expierence with the Beeman. You might consider a 1 piece drooper from Mac-1. HTH
I had the same problem with the c mount, I used J B weld and smeared the expoy uder the mount and so far it has held on my 34. This mount is really junk!!!!!!!!!
