Friend brought over the above springer which was a package deal (from Airgun Depot) that included a Hammer scope and (11mm to 3/8) adapter and rings. He couldn't get windage adjustment closer than about 4" with right windage adjusted all the way to stop. Sighting down the barrel and scope showed the two to be waaaay out of align. A set of (Kokopelli) alignment bars did not line up with one another nor did the drill rod inserted in the forward bar align with the bore.
One set of the provided rings was drilled and tapped for a set screw which nests in the dovetail adapter and (supposedly) prevents rearward drift of the ring set.
Mounting a set of high rimfire rings proves the scope to be at least moderately acceptable, but the rings (and, of course, scope) want to drift rearward under recoil. I could drill and tap one or both (Signature) rings for the setscrew remedy, but was hoping for a simpler solution.
Suggestions for an out of the box set of rings that might clamp more tightly and not be cheap junk? I have called Gamo and they, of course, want pictures and etc. Most likely they will (eventually) provide another set of rings maybe no better than the first and I dislike doing things twice.
Thanks...
