hey guys. gotta remmington summit break barrel. dropped it off at gunsmith to have it reblued and to have the barrel dovetailed so that i will now how iron sites on my barrel. woot.

however i still may want to run a scope depending on how it performs. now airgun scopes are different from rifle scopes. so were do i shop for airgun scopes and who makes quality scopes. i want a very high powered scope with mil dots and adjusting sights and adjustable zoom and all the goodies. i can find that i just dont know were to shop for the airgun scopes as apposed to rifle scopes.

Airgun Depot or Pyramyd Air have both served me very very well over the last several years.

DO NOT under any circumstances buy anything from Airgun Warehouse in Texas. They are a scam shop with no store front and nobody ever answers the phone. I think they wait until you purchase from them then they try to have whatever it is you ordered drop shipped etc as they don't stock anything at all. At any rate the day after they recently cancelled an order of mine I started getting fraudulent charges on my credit card. I don't think that is coincidence...

There are places that sell airgun only scopes. A quick internet search will help, but MAKE SURE it is for airguns. Too many places sell scopes under any catagory. I ordered mine from Cabelas (mainly because I have their credit card and had enought free points to get the scope for free!). But I noticed a few shops (not the above mentioned ones- but some Ebay and Amazon shops) will toss in any and every scope they sell as suitable for airguns. Be Positive of the scope (heck even my local walmart tried to sell me a .22 rimfire scope as suitable for airguns- assured me that it would hold up to the springer recoil. Upon close examination the scope box WARNED: Not intended for use on Spring Air Rifles!)
