Awhile back Dave asked to make him a pellet trap to use in his R&D department at Leapers. Seems they want to do some research on the new magnum springers that are breaking scopes,RWS 350,Gamo 1200,the Super Streak just to name a few. I took him his 14"X14" 1/8 thick Alum.pellet trap last thursday.Along with my Super Quest. We set up in a back room and started shooting targets from about 10 meters at the new trap I call my "Goes-in-Don't ComeOut Trap".To make a long story short I had a 3X9X40 Leapers Illum. scope on the Quest. After paying me for materials and labor Dave said he wanted to do me a favor if I didn't mind waiting for a little while and giving my rifle to one of his engineers.Sure I said hell the coffee is free and I ain't never in a hurry since I retired. About 1/2 hour later here comes his engineer with my Quest in hand and a brand new state of the art Accushot 4X16X56 Range finding Scope mounted on it.I almost sh!t my pants!! The engineer gave me a run down on how to work the damn thing and told me it will focus below 10 yards as he did some kind of tricky work to it. So anyway here is the Super Quest in .20 Cal with Super Scope Mounted! ! Sincerly BBgun Bob _________________ Air Guns Create Many Questions ! !

That is BIG! Does it make your gun top heavy? Just kidding. What are the white particles on it? And finally, do you notice much difference in the sight picture?

Al _________________ Haven't a chance to play with it!   Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 7:26 am BBGun Bob Veteran Member Joined: 29 Oct 2007 Posts: 474 Location: Michigan Its been either snowing or raining here,I have to do my shooting outside so I'm just waiting for a break in the weather to sight it in.But looking thru it out the doorwall is quite astonishing.It is crystal clear and with the 56mm lens there is plenty of light making the sight picture very bright. The little spec's on it are aluminum particles from me cutting a slot in the bottom of the sun shade to make clearence for the break barrel breech to open.I was a little to close to the rifle. But I think Al's explaination is closer to the truth Have a good week!!! BBgub Bob _________________ Air Guns Create Many Questions ! !

How many lenses does it contain? CW   Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 7:31 am cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 Can you show a photo of it not cocked, but with the barrel broken? Pictures in 1/2 cocked position   Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 7:52 am BBGun Bob Veteran Member Joined: 29 Oct 2007 Posts: 474 Location: Michigan The book does not have the weight or how many lens! Here's some pic's of it half cocked. Good enough?? BBGun Bob _________________ Air Guns Create Many Questions ! !

It would be a real bummer if the shade turned a bit before and/or during the charging cycle. Is it loc-tited? CW no locktiite just hand tight it won't unscrew on its own   Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 8:28 am BBGun Bob Veteran Member Joined: 29 Oct 2007 Posts: 474 Location: Michigan NT _________________ Air Guns Create Many Questions ! !

I hope its lock tited on there, because if that came loose and turned on you, I can only imagine what it would do to the scope. But what you did was clever nonetheless. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers. Never needed any minister to figure my divinity.
