Gamo 4X32 Air Rifle scope & rings Review

“I guess I lucked out. It turned out to be good enough...”

Good Points
Low price scope.

All base & ring mounting fasteners are cap screws, and package includes an allen key.

Lower profile than Crosman 4x scope.
(lower profile = less elevation error per distance).

Bad Points
Windage & elevation adjustments click & stay nicely, but they require quite a bit of effort to turn.
This can create load on the scope forcing it off zero.

Due to lower profile, scope can touch the factory sights on some rifles. (not a prob if you remove them)

General Comments
I guess I lucked out. It turned out to be good enough scope for a medium recoil rifle...



Opened package carefully to not force the scope out, and removed lens caps.

The instructions say to separate the rings. Last time I did that, it made to scope "turn" due to the tolerance of the rings..

So, I left the scope as is, straight out of the package and tightened the bases first to the rifle.

Then I loosened the rings only enough to rotate the scope to level the crosshair, and to move the scope back & forth to focus.

Torqued all allen screws evenly.

Bench vised the rifle, and used a target type pellet with a point for zeroing.



After zeroing the scope, at 60 ft range (20 yds) I was able to get a group of 3 in a dime sized area.

The scope is consistent enough for a medium pump rifle.

Don't put this on a highend air rifle. It would probably suffer from recoil.
