Any recommendations on scope bases for an R9? I have the B-Square adjustable one now and am not impressed. It's not very stable and the zero wanders.

Yeah, I had one of those too and it was really a piece of junk. Lots of fiddly little screws that won't stay put, and pretty flimsy too. I had it on a Diana 54, and after about 100 or so shots it blew one of the caps right off. I replaced it with a Beeman 5039 and so far haven't had one problem. I also have a Leupold 3-9x33EFR in a 5039 mounted on an R-10, absolutely no problems.

Just to add what dave said is check out the BLK rings. Also a good choice. Lawdog

I'll second the above opinions about the Beeman 5039. Has arrestor pin that will prevent creep when used with some rifle models. Said pin is retractable, though, if you don't need it.

Easy to adjust.
