Sure, really nice air rifles might exist if you want to spend over $300, then you might as well buy the real thing.
To the dismay of Walmart's and Dunham's Customer Service, I've been through 5 different high powered rifles, including Crossman, Ruger (Umarex) and Gamo.
I've reached the same conclusion..
The scopes SUCK.
On the last one (Ruger), I tightened the scope screws to the mount using loctite, and the stupid scope would still move, and loose it's adjustment.
I'm thinking the amount of recoil present screws up the scope. People think air rifles don't kick, and they don't, but they have double recoil which jars the crap out of the frame, which is hell on the scope.
