Leapers scopes w/ 1 piece mounts
« on: December 04, 2005, 01:57:37 PM »
I have a RWS 350M and I'm probably going to match it with a Beeman 5039 or RWS one piece mount and a Leapers scope.

My first question is will the Leapers 3-12x44 30mm Mil-Dot MINI Size Scope fit, or do I need the full size scope for the one-piece mounts?

Also, the Beeman 5039 is a high mount, but it does have the ability to compensate for barrel droop.  

My second question, is the RWS "C" mount a little lower of a mount, yet one that will still adjust for barrel droop?  I am looking for the adjustability but in a lower mount.  Any suggestions?

The Leapers scope is a 30mm and won't fit in 1" rings.  The tube is larger than 1".

Adjustable mounts are one of two ways I know to cure "barrel droop".  With the Leapers scope you will need a 30mm set of rings.  Go with the Leapers rings, http://www.leapers.com/pages/airgun%20sport/airgun%20ring.htm, or the 300 series
from BKL(the ones I prefer) at http://bkltech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=BKL&Category_Code=300.  Don't worry about barrel droop, it doesn't happen all that often.  Lawdog

Today there was another box waiting for me when I got home from work.  My Leapers 3-12X44 Illuminated TS Accushot scope!

It's is really nice.  I must say I am suprised, considering they are running in the low to mid $100's shipped.  A true "best buy" at this price.

Now just waiting on my BKL mounts...
