Also...

Not to rain on your parade, in fact I made the same mistake, I have concluded that lazers and pellets rifles don't mix...

Simply put, the mounting height of the lazer, your line of sight and line of trajectory almost NEVER intersect. The fact is pellets have a rainbow trajectory and almost all of the mounts you will find will offset the height of the lazer at least 1.5" above the height of the barrel and the lazer and your line of sight, of course travels in an exact straight path. Imagine two lines intersecting like an X and then draw a rainbow through both legs. Practical shooting is as worthless as this drawing you just made. At five feet, you will be 1.5" off. And actual zero might be 12-15 yards but at 17-20 yards you will already be 1.5" off or worse. If you are trying to hit anything smaller than a tennis ball, you have to know the exact distance and hold over or under and it just isn't worth the effort unless your targets are alway at the same exact distance.

You are much better off getting a variable, high-power, illuminated mil-dot scope and practicing at various distances.

I have mine set to zero at 20 which also puts me dead on at 40. So if the target is at less than 20; I use a lower mil-dot and it is super easy similar to pins on a bow sight. If the target is between 20 to 40 I MIGHT hold just a tad low if I need to be that precise. If the target is over 40, all I have to do is hold over incrementally again. So... On a crow sized target at 15- 60 yards I simply put the crosshair on his neck and squeeze. I have three mil-dots going down the breast and basically the only way you could miss is horizontally with wind drift or pulling the shot. My gun is very forgiving though. Hold, slap and it is like the crow has been struck by lightening... But I digress. smile


You are welcome to shoot mine a couple times and see if it is something that interests you.
