Sounds like you have the same age-eye problem I have, the scopes work fine the new single glass imaging sights wil do a good job if you dont want any magnification the red dots are ok except at dusk and dawn so they are not bad for target shooting but tricky for hunting. Let us know how you do with the BH 209. I just finished my second can have gotten groups from 1/2 inch to 3 inches @100 yds [with a scope and a bench] and found it seems critical to have the right sabot and that the gun still likes the same bullets but what I really like is getting rid of those flyiers that used to turn up with out reason some times and the fact you can go on a hunting trip and not have to clean every time you shoot it.
