Been using it daily for squirrel control the last few weeks.
And put 20 rounds through it yesterday re-checking zero.
Nothing abnormal.
So, this evening I whacked two more squirrels at about 20 yards.
Then noticed the scope had slipped back until the rear ring was clear off the receiver!!!
Remounted it this evening with blue lock tight in the clamp grooves.
But, it Looks like I better start shopping for a scope stop clamp!!
BTW: This it the perfect example of why high-power rifle scopes don't hold up on air rifles.
Firearm recoil try's to kick out from under the scope, and it wants to slide forward.
The effect of air rifle recoil is the exact other direction, and leaves the scope sliding rearward as the rifle recoils forward at piston impact.
