    Yep I agree but for a gun costing this much you’d think they’d put a decent rail on, guess it’s a question of cost. But I did change mine and it feels sturdy. I’ve been recording some more footage with the new zulus 3-12 and I’m getting one hole groups at 27 yards time after time. I’m well pleased with it. Am toying on saving up and getting another vixen short in .177 calibre so that I have a matching pair. And I did manage to dispatch a squirrel yesterday at 27 yds a result 😊
