Today I had the joy of setting up my new .177 Uragan 2 in carbon with my new Sightron VIII ED scope - I was blown away with my very first pellet through this gun finding center in the Middle box. I moved to upper left box after a couple of adjustments. Lastly Top right was final adjustment. Each box got 15 pellets- this is my 10 meter initial go. I am very impressed with this combination!

What distance should I use for Zero for FT purposes?

Whoa?!?!? I will have the same scope in my grubby little hands Monday! Can’t wait to try it!

For HFT or FT/sub12? Either way I zero between 20-25 yards. Got that scope for FT also, how does it range and how good is the side focus knob? Hope it has lots of travel between 10-55 yards, dying to know!!!

I’m totally impressed with this scope- albeit this scope was 3-4 times more moolah than any scope I’ve owned. I haven’t had a chance to put it through it’s paces but mounting, initial adjustments, zeroing and parallax adjustment were all spot on. I will tend to learning ranging features and making crib sheets later - definitely will benefit from a large wheel for ranging! Seems to be plenty of travel.

How’s the depth of the Fidel’s, hoping it’s super shallow thanks to 56 objective and 40x!

That is more than I have spent on any scope as well but I too have tasted expensive (ish) glass and its much like using an expensive bipod, once you're there, theres really no turning back. The red dot with magnifier I am eyeing for my caiman if I like it is $1000 .... ugh

I just looked up the price on that sightron,:eek:

Yes, it is VERY expensive and BY FAR the most expensive scope I've ever bought! HOWEVER, wait till you see the price tags on "peers" of the the S8.

Sadly the travel of the parallax wheel is pretty average between 10-55 yards which is just under half of a revolution. A bigger parallax wheel might be needed.

@qball - do you know anything about slowing down an Uragan to <20fpe I posted a help notice in pcp’s.

Sorry, never worked on a Uragan. Can you adjust reg? What’s is the reg set at? Assuming you already backed out the hammer all the way? If the hammer is backed out all fully then you will need to increase reg pressure if possible or swap hammer for a lighter one or a lighter spring. There are only so many ways you can reduce power.
