I have this in the general section but moved one part over here to get this thread going.

Sorry about being lax and not letting you know about my new weapon.
Brown got it here and after some (instruction) reading, I got the scope on it. A Bushnell 4 power with a fast focus eyepiece , adjustable power ring and the Objective Adjustment on the lens
Set up a piece of cardboard in the back yard and put a bunch of black circles on it to sight in the rifle.
Used 6 pumps since 8 is the Max for the rifle and started shooting. Took 5 shots to march the hit area across the cardboard to the black dot. 1st shot was way off to the left but good on the elevation.
Then to make sure it was no accident I put up a fresh piece and placed (drew) 5 more dots on it, about a shade smaller then a nickel and started blasting away at it. That scope sure helps when you wear tri focals and sure as heck, one shot at each dot and all of them were in the black and the last was dead center at 8 pumps (full) power.
All of the sighting in was done at 35 feet.
Then I placed the target at 50 feet. Just to make sure everything was right I did one dot about the size of a penney or dime and took careful aim and sure as heck ..... right in the black like it should be , A person could call it a tack driver, it is an accurate little rifle.
Trigger pull is a little hard but should smooth out after some use, otherwise I am very happy with it and for plinking about 4 pumps works out real good. Did some experimenting on coke cans, empty and some filled with water.
For you folks stepping into the middle of this conversation what we are talking about is the Benjamin/Sheridan (Blue Streak) 177 cal , Pneumatic Air Rifle and Bushnell Scope ,I ordered from Cabelas.
Chuck.
