Hence why i read constant about stock scope mounts coming loose after several shots, even with a loctite applied.  The scope i ordered has a 1 piece mount that should eliminate that. 

  I was referring to the internals in the scope, but yeah, its hard on mounts also.

No problems with mine, Old Plug, I tighten it down good and used loctite on it, the blue I think.

Lancer, are those Rocket,s all their cracked up to be? Ive seen mixed reviews. 

I like them actually. They definitely aren't as heavy as the rockets which is why I don't like them at the longer distances but up close they are deadly. There is a good bit of mushrooming compared to other pellets in .177.

There is no doubt when you make a hit with them. There is a noticeable pop when the redfires find there mark.

The large skunk I shot a few weeks back actually fell to one of the redfires. Single shot to the top of the head and he was done.

Crazy timing on this thread as I just shot my buddy's GAMO on Saturday.  His was a .177 but it was the bone collector edition with the camo stock but looks just like the wasp.  Thing was crazy accurate.  I still have an old Benjamin .22 pump pistol from my youth.  That thing took a ton of rabbits and is still working great and just as it was when new.  Gonna have to get one of those GAMO's though... They are nice.

Wife and i got some shooting in, in the basement tonight. Got 4 guns sighted in. Heres a paper as we were getting the groups tighter.  The bottom right hole has 8 pellets there. That was with the Gamo Silent Cat.  Wife loves that gun, so im glad i have a different favorite.  Ended up getting all 4 guns with tight groups at 10 yards. Thats with the cheapest Daisy pellets you can get. Word is after a few hundred the groups get really tight, and with better pellets. I bought better Crosman Premiers for after breakin period. . Tonight we shot 200 between 4 guns.  

Other picture shows from table to target, and target to table.

I ordered the Gamo Swarm and it's on its way.  

Dick's had some  Crosman 14.3gr. hp pellets in .22 so I grabbed some of them while I was there.   I'm probably gonna need to order some others to test after I get it broke-in good.   I assume that I want to go heavier, no?     I'm hoping to be able to dispatch small critters out to  35-40 yards. 

Any pellet recommendations?
