Down the rabbit hole

Does that make sence to you?

Cuterabbit, 3 things for you to try when you are next target practicing.

1. Push your shoulder slightly forwards and nestle the but of the stock in where your collarbone is. By doing this it will hold the but of the stock from moving during the shot cycle. If you have your shoulder relaxed and backwards, it allows too much movement resulting in shots spreading downrange.

2. Keep both eyes open. Get a cheap pair of sunglasses and put tape over the eye your not looking through the scope with and pop the glass out on your scope eye. By keeping both eyes open you get a clearer image through the scope.

3. Make sure all the bolts attaching the action to the stock are tight. Re check these every couple of weeks. Also once you have cocked the rifle, hold the rifle horizontal and move the barrel up and where ever you let it go, the barrel should not fall back down and point towards the ground. If the barrel is too loose you will need to tighten the bolt that the barrel piviots on. This will help eliminate any movement and also greatly increase your accuracy. Check your scope mounts too.

Let us know if these tips help?

Also get hearing protection if you get a Gamo Magnum.

thats a brilliant idea of sun-glasses haha

Not as likely to be ruined. My roadster wasn't a magium and it still killed scopes. It's about how hard it recoils. It had a 5mm washer at the back of the gas ram I took out which made it a bit of a forward shock.
Best bet is to either see what scopes other ppl have used that are good ( like in mercs review) or spend money on a higher quality scope. Which can easily be 3x what your junior cost you.
Start looking at scope reviews along with all the other air rifle stuff your learning.
