classic example. I bought a M460 for $459.00 from Pyramid

NOT, you did not buy a gun for that price WARREN, think again

now the 1 pc. mount $70.00

a good scope $100.00

a JM spring kit $75.00

cleaning, pellets, other $50.00

sub total $295.00 plus the gun $459.00 = $754.00

I bought a gun that will cost me between $700 to $800

and some people think air guns are toy's, I wish!!, at $800.00 this is not a toy. If I keep this up my early retirement will be at 65 years old instead of 60.

and remember "it's 30% the gun and 70% the shooter"

and then he said good scope and $100 in the same sentence.

Yes a rifle comes with accessories too especially when you want to scope it, but that's with every rifle, not just a springer.

BTW, it would be wise not to use the word "good" with a "$100 scope" "Good" scopes cost a lot more $ than that. For $100 you got an average scope which I 'm sure will serve you well for many years. What kind of 1-piece mount did you get? I can't find the BKL 260 anywhere! BKL has not made any in a while. I hope they 're not going out of business. Noone has them, not even BKL - I called them! I think BKL is a very small operation and either 1 guy makes them only in his shop, or they order them from some other machine shop. I placed the order with them. They reply to my e-mails about 3 weeks late or not at all. I also called every vendor on the Internet that carries BKL (very few of them do), and noone has them.
Why was yours $70? That's a lot.

beeman 5039, same as sportsmatch $84.88, $65.00 at straight shooters, $59.99 at Cobra Airguns

BLK 260 D7 at straight shooters $60.00, Mac 1 $65.00

B square 17101 at Cobra Airguns ???? price

any of these 1 pc. mounts are good but the Sportsmatch is the rolls royce of them all, the beeman 5039 is a copy
