pnut, I will generally agree with you on BSA scopes. However for some strange reason their 4 x 32 holds on anything I have put them on. They have decent clarity and hold on everything from a savage ml II to at least a 8mm06. I've got about 5 of them floating around here and one went bad but for a $25 scope that ain't bad (and nope it isn't worth the postage to send it in for replacement)

I knew when they recommend the bsa scope i would regret it. If i had bought the nikon or even another good brand i would know it was the mounting or base not the scope. Guess i will try to tighten it up and if it is still off get a good scope. Heck maybe it will work on an air rifle

You can forget the air rifle. They'll bust that scope quicker than crap.

These guys are right, the chance of getting a 10/22 that is accurate from the factory is a gamble. I have several of them and only one of them is accurate, the rest I have worked over to make them shoot well. Trust me it is easy to make them beeter with little knowledge and money. Get yourself some books and give it a try, you will be surprised at what you can do. Hell one of my kids dropped one of them on the muzzle and messed up the end of the barrel, I cut it off with a dremmel and put a crown back on it and it shoots like a dream.
