KBR97, see your other post "what's on FedEx truck etc" I left you a reply... as to gas piston guns, they actually have a more pronounced "snap" but it's faster than a metal spring, bang, it's over that quick. Yes, it can be as shocking as a metal spring to a scope. What I don't know about is the smaller size gas piston used in the Trail gun as compared to a full size rifle, question becomes... is there as much shock as a comparable rifle?

Interesting thanks for the insight. Being that I have never shot a nitro piston I would have assumed otherwise. I don't plan on putting a scope/red dot but it's still good to know.
I cant wait for it to get here. I have my replacement IZH 53m coming saturday too. Wife is gonna kill me! lol.

Yes, it has 3/8" scope mount grooves cut into the main tube, thats how the OEM sight mounts up, in the grooves with a screw lock. Just take it off and mount your scope. This is a spring gun howevere, so get a scope that can handle the double recoil.

RC what do you think? Springer rated scope needed on a spring pistol?

I use NCStar pistol scopes on springer pistols and never had a problem, and they are a bargain to boot.  They come with Weaver rings, and so, you'll need to pick up a set of Leapers Accu-shot rings in 3/8".  They won't move.  The scopes don't have an AO option, so, for shorter ranges you'll need to manually adjust the objective lens.  A piece of cake that takes only a few minutes to dial in the focus/parallax. Best price I've found is here:

My wife took our nieces dress shopping yesterday on our dime, so she wisely had no problem with my new pistol purchase.

Yea she wont care, she will just shake her head and smirk at me, lol. She does shoot once in a while. She has shot my rimfires a few times. She's a complete gun safety noob though, still learning.
