I believe it is a 4x20 scope, but not sure. I do know that I payed like 16 bucks for it a long time ago, it was on my pellet gun for the longest time. and thanks for the compliments, it is a total blast to shoot, no pun intended. :wink:

Actually quite predictable, thanks to the incompressibility of fluids:

It's the same reason the lid is blown off the coffee tin in this shot.

Is this a typo? only a 6 inch spread at 40 yards? That is insane! How far does the marble drop over that distance?

Is anyone able to answer my question as to how you get to only a 6 inch spread across 40 yards? That seems highly improbable with out a rifled barrel and much higher pressures

With tight fitting and consistent ammunition, filling to the same pressure and the benefit of a scope this seems entirely realistic performance to me.
