I'm thinking this is my best bet. Get one of these ACOG or Spitfire replicas, see if I can live with the parallax error, if not, loosen up the objective somehow and back it off a few threads.

I'm kind of intrigued by this thing: https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-solo-tactical-rt-8x36-monocular.html Mounting would be a problem, and the reticle is not centered, but for around €150 over here it checks off a lot of my boxes. What am I missing?

How about the Spitfire 5x prism scopes? I see clones of them from Chinese sellers. Their parallax is set at 100 yards. How much would I have to move the objective forward to bring this number down to 10m? Would I be trashing the thing if accidentally broke the air seal? Would I have bad results...

This looks very cool. I suppose with a barrel band the optic could be moved forward so that the eyepiece is roughly flush with the end of the bolt, for use without the stock, or possibly with the stock resting on top of the shoulder. At some point I may want to make a custom short stock with an...

This looks like nearly the ideal hold for me. What would be great is if I could make contact between my right hand and my face. I love the idea of a prismatic scope as a way to bring the weight of the optic closer to the body and shrink it's footprint. I'm not seeing anything in the sub $/€300...

Yeah, these look perfect. Little more than I wanted to spend, as it were. How does it work with focus on the acogs and acog replicas? Will I be able to get a sharp picture at 10m? If so I guess this is the move until I can upgrade to an Immersive Optics. What's the eye relief on yours?

I'm not seeing anything by this name. Is it in the CP line? This sounds great. What is the nearest distance the parallax can be set to? 2 moa wouldn't be a total deal breaker at 10 meters. Monstrum stuff doesn't seem to be sold in Europe as far as I am aware. Are there any very similar models...

I'm using a lightweight Diana Bandit/Chaser hybrid PCP airpistol for 10-meter target shooting. I'm looking for a scope which gives me enough magnification to see where I'm hitting the target at 10m. For this I think I need at least 2x, but I would prefer 4x or 5x. As the thing has basically no...

Interesting. Did it come back at you with a lot of energy? Did it dent the wood? Sounds like they're at least somewhat elastic. Did you see any marks from the barrel's rifling on the rebounded BB? What's your takeaway from these tests? Do you see yourself shooting these plastic BBs at 5-10m...

Just wow. Excellent shooting! These BBs and the Alecto seem to be a good match. Thank you again for doing this.

What does everyone think are the main factors which determine whether these BBs shoot accurately, at least indoors, in a particular airgun or not? I wonder what is the range of stable speeds for these things. 500 to 950 fps? Would a choked barrel be more likely to help or hurt accuracy? Is the...

Modski, just curious, do you have an opinion on the Diana Bandit PCP?

Is yours an F-in-pentagon Alecto? I'm reading a few things that suggest that in an environment without crosswinds, a pellet's weight should not affect its accuracy, so long as it is sufficiently subsonic. I'm reading that maximum accuracy is usually achieved between 850 and 950 fps.

Yes, I'm restricted to 7.5 Joules over here. Modski66, thank you for giving this a try! Your results so far are very impressive. I'm very curious what you find regarding accuracy in the Alecto. Your result with the FAS 604 is also very interesting. Having to muzzle-load would be a pain in any...

I like the idea of it all being self powered, as opposed to having to rely on buying CO2 cartridges. So PCP is definitely also an option. How do you imagine a Diana Bandit would perform with these BBs? If I'm not mistaken, the Gen 2 version comes with a regulator than can be set as low as 100...

This might be a good reason for me to look for a multipump, as a way to be able to moderate the velocity of the projectile. Also, it might be easier to load than in a break barrel. Did you ever try loading the ASG plastic BBs in a break barrel pellet gun? I watched a video of someone trying to...

Cheers. I want to do some 5- to 10-meter target shooting in a multiuse indoor space. I can't risk ricochets, and I don't want to introduce lead dust. I like the price of these plastic BBs, and I'm looking for an airgun, ideally an airpistol that is either a springer or a pumper, which works well...

Do you happen to remember the Joule or Ft•Lb rating of the Baikal? Thanks.

Honest question, why does one want a smooth bore for BBs? I understand that steel BBs will potentially damage rifling, but these particular BBs definitely won't. Will a spinning BB fly less straight than one not spinning? Modern Daisy 880s use rifled barrels and they manage to be relatively...

So what would be the issue? They would just roll out of the barrel? Say I overcame this by loading half a cigarette filter into the barrel first, what then? Or say if I gave the plastic BBs a light spray of beeswax to fatten them up just a touch?
