I would prefer raised mounts so I will be able to load the breech. I have a couple of scopes but I can not mount either of them with out a set of mounts that fit this rifle.If anyone knows of a link or source I would like to know it.The gun is right on with iron sites but my 58 year old eyes don't see good any more."bummer" My mom never threw away my playboy magazines, they say thats why I can't see well ! Anyway any help with this matter would be much appericated. Just Another Air Gun Nut ! Ps: looking for a service manual too. _________________ Air Guns Create Many Questions ! !

I see Crosman only lists them for "current" models- but is the barrel size different on the older Sheridan guns? Here's the current model/solution: http://www.crosman.com/site/listing/1090 _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Theres a guy on E-Bay who says you have to shim the new Crosman mounts to fit the older barrels.No problem, but some of our guys on the forum may have a better solution. Thanks for the fast reply Eric Be safe and have a good week! BBGun Bob _________________ Air Guns Create Many Questions ! !

It's too bad there isn't more of a "market" for these sorts of things- that way someone can machine a few pieces and maybe sell off the extras to recover their costs and time. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

I had to mount both rings on the forward part of the scope tube.It feels real solid I see no problems unless of course you drop it or ram it into a tree.I'll include a couple of pictures to show how it mounted to gain proper eye relif. Now I can see the target again. Respectfully BBGun Bob _________________ Air Guns Create Many Questions ! !
