The Optima that came with the Hatsan is a better scope if you want to give it a try. Its not a UTG but beyter than the Gamo ones. 

Appreciate the offer, but scope length is a consideration with the Swarm guns, I'm limited to a maximum overall length of 12.5" (which eliminates a bunch of good scopes).   

So far that's the only negative about the 10x system.  

The Leapers 3-9x32AO is about the only thing that'll make me happy right now.

Wrench  I  am going to try or buy a bit better scope for mine for my birthday. Nothing expensive. But I will be up to see you to sight it in. I'm not really  into target shooting. tree rats  chipmunks  and such is about what I use it for. I have All kinds of claps so I think I can improvise a pretty good siting in rack If this coon cat next door gets out into the yard more I will not heed it for that. She will go up in a tree after a tree rat and she will catch. She is as agile as they are up there.

As tight as your neighborhood is I imagine you gotta choose your shots very carefully.   Might be better/safer to let the cat do the job.   Or take up falconry

Well Wrench I do let her do her thing. BUt when she does not do it Do it with my 410 pump .  THe problem is not the shooting it is the widow next door. She needs a gun also. Something in a 6-8 "" caliber.    I mostly plink off the deck. I really feel 40 yard is to far out anyway.

Have you watched this cat?  He's wicked!   

He has some cool pigeon killing vids, and a bunch of other brilliant stuff.

cool stuff. That hold under shots were tight

Very cool video. New trigger is in the mail. Will keep it on the iron sights until then. Maybe 100 rounds down the barrel but improving. Hits mostly @ 25Y with irons.

I thought I trashed my scope but I did quite a bit of 40yd. practice in the wind today and it seemed to hold Zero just fine.   I don't trust it though because of that BS it pulled on me the other day, so as soon as I recover from the X-mas/NY rediculous outlay of cash I'll be ordering a better one.  

I am surprised at what little effect a stiff breeze has on my pellets, they buck the wind alot better than I expected. Just had to lean into it about a crosshairs width at 40 yards and dinosaurs would fly.

Dropped the new trigger in tonight. Took all of 10 minutes. Feel is much better. Scope on to. Can't wait to fire tomorrow.

Got it dialed in!
