Want to use this for a gator hunt. can a red dot replace the scope? and reel attached to the front.

I was just using this today. My target is 25 yards, so using a red dot really depends on what the scope is rated for and I would sight it in with lots of bolts. It has a bow has a rail so if you can mount it I guess you can use it. My groups were within 3 inches at 25 yards. I'm not sure how a reel/line would attach to the bow. Please let me know how you mount the reel and how it works out. How far away are your targets?

it's a standard scope mount so I assume you can put anything you want on it. And there is a attachments grew somewhere in the front of it so I assume he put a reel on it too but don't know for sure. my suggestion would be to contact the manufacturer they are very helpful.

a red dot would work on this, there is no place to mount a reel for bowfishing on it however.

I can see the .223 holes from 100yds. Anything further becomes difficult for me. It will work with most red dots just get the right mounts.

U can. It is easier to take on and off the eotech with the screw that has the larger head. It does add more weight to the red dot but nothing too significant

Crossman makes a red dot laser that will fit. But your best bet is to contact Gamo to see if they have a rail assembly and the other accessories your looking for.

If it has a dovetail receiver, you can,if not you need to put new rings on the scope.

You can, but its hard to find wire that thin. The scope will magnify the wire [crosshair] if you install a thicker wire than the original, you won't see your shots. Better just buy a new one.

Yes..need to buy one made for this model. I have one ...found very hard to get red dot set ...so not happy with it. If I had to do it again I would go for optics with good cross hair sights.

If you modify?? I think it would cost more for the modification than the gun is worth and it would look ugly as sin. Get a red dot or real ruger target sights.

Absolutely. It comes in 2 pieces. The actual red dot and the pictiny mount. I mounted it on a S&W CORE.

it's been a while since i had one. it'd be best to verify that the mfr or importer warrants that the scope will withstand airgun recoil or they will repair or replace it. some do, and some don't. you wouldnt want to be left with no recourse if it can't stand up to the hatsan.

No buy the a custom direct from Crossman with the red dot. This one comes with very good (60 buck ) open sights.

the scope was trouble for me as well, i bought a simple red dot holograph and put it on there. worked better.

Yes, if you can get the front sight off. I don't think you'll be able to slide it over the front sight if it is attached, and after it is on the barrel I don't think you'll be able to see the front sight. So, a scope would be a must.

yes you can mount a red dot or any other type of scope that mounts to a picatinny rail system.you also have the choice of mounting to either the top or bottom of the barrel

I used this item before for airsoft in the past, and you need a protective cover if you play any where that allows 350 fps or higher. But that speed would break any red dot or scope.

I think with the right mount, a scope can be attached. I've purchased a red dot sight on Amazon ($15?) that I find amazing. I think it uses a "dovetail" mount. It and a scope restrict access to the chamber where you'd insert a pellet to a small degree, but since I use BBs mostly, I don't find it a problem. If you are doing most of your shooting at targets under fifty or sixty feet, I'd highly recommend the red dot instead of a scope.

A red dot would be ok however the sights are one of the better features of this air gun. It does have a dovetail for mounting other sights however it is a narrower dovetail designed for air gun optics/rings.
