Well Poo!   I forgot that scopes for the Swarm (because of the magazine contraption) can't be over 12.6" in overall length.  Pretty hard to find a scope that I think is the absolute bomb....that is also under 13".

Don't really care for the 32mm objective but I might have to settle for this one 

I had a 44mm in mind, but the more i thought, and liking the 50m on mydeer rifles, i wanted the same for the Hatsan. That scope should do you well. If not stick it on another, and go bigger.

Got to shooting today. Gals ran through a couple hundred @ 25 yards. Hit constantly. They did well!

That one should work just fine.  I have it on my Gamo Maxxim 22 and like it. 

Ok good!   Was a bit concerned that the 32mm might be a little dark, and that the mildots were a bit overwhelming.  Wish it only had mildots on the lower side.

I can't even find a good scope (that I like and can afford) with a 12.5" or less overall length.   Only bad part about the Swarm so far.   That's ok, I have 3 magazines and truly enjoy not having to stuff pellets one at time.

.177 on the left.  .25 on the right.  I finally got to shoot it today. Shot about 40 down it. Took the first 10 to get the iron sights close.  Last 5 shots were touching. Not bad at 15 yards for a blind guy.  Cant wait for the scope to get here this week.  

Didnt notice any difference in loudness from the .177 guns.  It takes more muscle to cock it tho, which is expected with that heavier spring.  The "thump" of that pellet hitting wood was way noticeable.  Left some good size chunks out.  

Here a .177 and .25 side by side.  Such a huge difference. Really like the gun. This sucker is heavy. Weighs almost 9 pounds. Def. need to attach a sling if im going to walk the woods with it.  Shoots easy and so accurate.  The scope should set it up just right.  

Wrench i couldnt find a catalog, but will get one before next outting.

Ya mean BPS/Cabela's doesn't send you 2 catalogs every month like they do me?   

Did you download the Chrono Connect app ?   I'm interested to see what the ballistics are with the .25

Ha. Nope got off their lists a few years back. 

I have not but will do it. Next cycle will be Thursday evening as the scope is supposed to be here that day.

How is the noise? I think my old Stevens 22 is fairly quiet. I have heard some that are just as load as a 22.

Not to bad for a Magnum air gun Dan. I will be doing a video after getting the scope sighted in that will hopefully show the noise level of both the 177 and 25.
