The cross hairs on my Gamo 4x9x40 scope have rotated inside the scope tube and are not straight like they were when it was new and zeroed in. These scopes are Total JUNK and will not take the abuse of the Gamo IGT rifles. They break and can't retain their zero.

Anyway I mounted the new scope on the new fusion Elite Air Rifle and used the blue lock tite compound to set the screws in place and waited a full 24 hours before messing with the scope rings and the scope itself. This new pellet gun had a base that is attached to the groves on the receiver and it's got three screws that hold the new base in place. Then there is a one piece set of rings that the scope mounts into and then mounts onto the new base with several more screws. So I had to buy some more blue lock tite to use on this new air rifle/scope.

I leveled the scope on my shooting table and then used a Wheeler Engineering Level/Level devise to level the scope and get it mounted properly. First shots were on target at 18 years down range. Then I setup another target at 28 years in a tree which was level with my barrel. My back yard slopes down and then goes back up to the roadway behind my side yard. I've used a light laser and a level to determine where in the tree it's level with my gun on my table sitting on my side driveway.

I shot a bunch of different type pellets and different weight pellets of the same brand. Each different Pellet grouped together but each type of pellet shot differently. Some were way different than the others.

I figured out that the match grade Crosman Lead Pellets shot the best and so I chose them to use to sight in the scope for 28 yards. Hopefully now I can hit that pesky squirrel the next time I get a shot at him/her.

The squirrel was back again today at 9 am. I caught his brother a couple days ago. They are everywhere and hard to get rid of when you put bird food outside. Anyway I put some peanuts inside the cage along the top of the 2x4 rail on the rail around my deck. Maybe he will stop to eat the peanuts and forget about the trip mechanism like the last squirrel and trip it and get caught. If not the new Gamo Whisper Fusion Elite Air Rifle is loaded up and ready to go. I better not miss him the next time I get a shot. I'm ready for some Fox Squirrel Stew. LOL. I know that little ******* will be fat and well fed on my sun flower seeds. So he should be real tasty
