I was wondering if there was a quality scope available? I don't see anywhere one could be easily mounted.

Actually, there is a scope mount now available for this bb gun. If you Google "Brice scope mount", you will find a website where the seller makes and sells scope mounts for the Daisy Red Ryder, and this bb shooter. I don't own this bb gun or the Brice scope mount. Nor do I know if the accuracy of this bb gun warrants installing a scope. But some older shooters, like myself, end up with eyesight problems, and sometimes a scope, or a dot sight, might help us and let us keep shooting.

I have to agree with D R. P. ReplicaAirguns on youtube compared the Daisy R Ryder and Marlin Cowboy. The R Ryder was much more accurate and also much easier to cock it.

This gun is not built for a scope. It would not warrant one either. It doesn't shoot very fast and has an arc to the bullet path. A great gun for the kids and for plinking, but not much for hunting.

No you can't easily mount a scope but I found that the trigger was so bad that I don't think a scope would be of any help , I found this to be a pretty bad BB gun ( and I like Crosman guns a lot ) and returned it and got a Daisy Red Ryder for my girlfriend and she loves it and can hit anything she aims at , hope this helps.

Yep, lots of problems with the OEM scope. I am currently looking to put a simple rail system on it to avoid the ring issue.

Yes, it's actually a really good scope. I would say no if you're going to use it for really long distances though.

It is an excellent scope for that, but it is heavy and you will need a good sturdy tripod. Not your average video or camera tripod.

I think you could mount a sight on top, it looks like it has a 2-1/2inch dove tail by the rear sight? It have to be like a tactical scope? Tho the scope would cost more than the gun its self & it only shoots at 230fp/s & its just a good can plinker at close range of 15-25 ft, you want to put a scope on something that's at least 450-1000 FP/s or more, & look for guns that have rails or dovetail for scopes,laser,lights?....

I'm using it on my Orion telescope without problem, but I can't speak for other brands. To me it didn't look like quality construction when I got it, but it has worked fine, and much better than the Orion one that came with my scope.

Hi, I'm not a scope snob. I think there are decent cheap or inexpensive scopes. This isn't one of them. If you are anyone other than Stevie Wonder I urge you not to buy this scope. You will regret it.

Ryan, I think this scope should work well for you for that application. I think you will want a sine/square wave signal generator of some sort as well, so you can get a periodic signal you can see clearly on the scope.

It is quite easy... I purchased a 2" diagonal that attaches to the scope. Get a threaded one for SCTs. I purchased this one here on Amazon: SCT Quartz Dielectric Diagonal 2" by High Point. The threaded end attaches directly to the scope, and 2" eyepieces mount on the other end. It also came with a 2" to 1.25" adapter. Very easy to use and works perfectly.

Hi Matt. Might be doable but given the cost of the scope and the time and effort required probably best just to buy a new one. I had a similar problem with my scope and plan to buy a better one next time.

I haven't tried one but this heads up scope is better then what I had in Afghanistan. The true idea to this is, use the Weaver rails above your scope to mount this. Its more a CQB sight. If you godda reach out and touch somebody, drop your eye as scope the target. You'd be surprised.. Puts you on target without burning your sight eye. A good buy....

Just make sure it's a sturdy one as this is a fairly large, heavy scope. I have a Bower and it's a bit wobbly, especially at full magnification.

Yes, you can mount red dot, holographic or a small pistol scope. It works quite well.

Oh yes, you just need to have a scope mount, usually around $25. here on Amazon

I am not sure, i do not have one, but the screws are pretty short. I took the long way and bought a new screw, then i had to use a screwdriver to make the hole bigger because the screw was too small so if you don't want to do the hard work, you can look for another scope, but it is a very good scope so if you need, i could make a youtube video or tell you how to fix the size. I hope this helped, and thanks for asking. If you want, you can even send it to me and I'll custom make the size and put my screws in for you.

It's not a necessity. I run mine with the mounts it came with. It is definitely usable out of the box. I've seen a lot of people run scopes higher though.

Although its possible to attach a camera mount to this scope I wouldn't recommend it. Dobsonian mounts are rather poor for astrophotography as there is no tracking system.
