Kliff, Good for you! Sounds like a neet combo. What kind of mount are you planing on using?? What Cal.?? Where ya buyin from?? Kliff you will LOVE the 34!! I still kick myself everytime I think of the 2 I sold! They are GREAT guns for little $$. Keep us posted when you start shooting your new "LADY DIANA"!! Tim. P.S.,, nice site you have there.
It'll be another .177, I mostly cut paper, and I'm kinda stuck on that caliber. But I think either of the 34's will take a wabbit at about 30 yards with a pellet in the 8.4-.8 range, and a well placed shot. If it looks like I'll be shooting further than that, I'll just take the 48 "clone" with some 10.9gr pellets. She should be good for head shots out to 50 yards.
Pyramyd will get the order in the morning.... I know, I could do it tonight, but I think I finally figurred their system out....NEVER order on the weekend....trust me. First thing Monday morning, kick in the 5 bux express handling fee, and I'll have it on Wednesday.
Maybe if he puts a thousand rounds through the rifle before mounting the scope the rifle will smooth out by the time he tries the scope. That's what I would do, unless he wants to return the scope sooner (or within warrantee?).
I recommend Leapers scopes as they've been holding up on rifles like my Prosport and BSA Goldstar. At that price point anyway.
I've experienced this myself exactly with this combination....but if you want to learn the hard way be my guest.
I only tell this as an advice because this scope will guarantied not hold, it's not negative...it's just realistic....
If I could recommend one it would be Bushnell Trophy
