Things I liked:I love the tape. Scope isn't marred and it will stay put IF (see below) you can get the Allen Head screws snug. The tape is about as thin as two layers of skin, so don't worry about it (Unlike a certain product that was reviewed either by BB on the blog or in the video, I don't remember, that had electrical tape in the front

The tape is about as thin as two layers of skin, so don't worry about it (Unlike a certain product that was reviewed either by BB on the blog or in the video, I don't remember, that had electrical tape in the front ring. It isn't like that at all.) Very great addition to a basic ring setup that makes it a great value. Things I would have changed:The screws. I went to install the scope on my dove rail and the heads striped and wallowed out without much pressure at all. I tried it to see if it was tight enough. It held its zero for about 10 shots and then slid up the rail. Couldn't do anything about it because the screws wouldn't stand the pressure. You could cinch them up to where you could feel resistance, but nothing more. What others should know:They are a great value. When you get them pull all the screws, the four from the top and the two from your base and head for your local hardware store. I worked in the hardware industry for many years and know poor fasteners when I see them. This is the case here. By all means though buy this product! It's a great value that just needs a little tweaking.
Things I liked:You couldn't ask for a better scope. It is clear and the cross hairs are the perfect size both for hunting and target shotting in my back yard, which my range goes out to 45 yards. I noticed no point of impact change when going from low power up to high. I like the fact no tools are needed to adjust elevation or windage. Things

I noticed no point of impact change when going from low power up to high. I like the fact no tools are needed to adjust elevation or windage. Things I would have changed:The dove tail clamps/mount leaves some to be desired. Mine has been shot loose twice in 75-100 shots with my custom tuned Beeman GS950. This is a mid-power springer and recoils more smoothly than one from the factory before a tune. Its still worth twice the price asked here; just get a different mount. What others should know:It's a very nice scope from the best air gun scope maker LEAPERS. The guy above me says his fogged. He should return it; it's defective and they will make it right. Leapers has a reputation for fine quality and service and have a life time warranty. You will not go wrong with this scope.
Things I liked:Out of my Beeman GS950, a upper midrange powered springer, these are very accurate. They are very, very hard and will bounce off game if used for hunting without penetrating; that said I have killed two pigeons with them; one a shot in the breast and one in the head. On neither could I find an entrance wound, but both died

They are very, very hard and will bounce off game if used for hunting without penetrating; that said I have killed two pigeons with them; one a shot in the breast and one in the head. On neither could I find an entrance wound, but both died almost instantly. This would be a good target, silhouette, or pest control round for rats or English sparrows. Need something softer, or shaped differently for larger game. At 37 yards five shots can be covered with two pencil erasers. . Things I would have changed:For what it's made for--- nothing.
What others should know:Just keep in mind this is a target type pellet. It's not the best for hunting. I can also see where it would be too hard for a super powered air rifle. It is also too hard to use the Beeman Pell Seat tool. Also, don't be fooled into thinking it's an economy pellet if you haven't ordered before. Your getting a box of 625. It's not say too expensive, but don't think it's sum huge economy box either.
