Lawdog - One more question
« on: August 25, 2005, 08:16:17 PM »
Lawdog,

What mount are you using on you TF 99?

I have ordered the RWS C-mount for the 350M but have now been told that was not a good choice.

What about a B-Square adjustable mount to compensate for barrel droop?

Thanks again,

AirCajun

I now have BKL Double Strap #278 on my TF99M.  I started out with their #263 but changd for the added room the #278 gives.

I know a number of shooters that use the RWS C-Mount on their air rifle and have had no problems.  I wouldn't worry about it.  If you start to have any problems with the C-Mount you can always get a different rings/mount.

Forget B-Square, PERIOD.  To cheaply made, as they are known for bending easily.  If you find you need an adjustable mount then go with the Beeman #5039.  These are what I have on all my barrel cockers.  Lawdog

Those B-Square adjustables are worse than the C-mounts. The first and only one I had was on a Diana 54, and after a couple hundred shots one of the caps split and broke right off. Not to mention that it has a confusing array of little adjustment screws that never seem to work or stay tight. Add to that the fact that they don't even seem to be made of steel, some kind of cheap alloy rather, and it all adds up to junk.  The 5039 is your best bet. All of my high power air rifles have them, and so far none has had a single problem or gone out of adjustment.
