thanks ever so much, ended up buying it - the focus ring with the 10m, 15m, 30m etc fell off after a few shots, so had to glue it back in place, the actual focus wheel is fine tho, it was just the ring with said ranges that came off - the optics are good tho. yea i mounted it on a .177 hw 97k and im getting far better groups already.
