Gun decided>tick, scope(s) decided >tick, what about mounts..h

[CollioureII]

OK...decided air rifle = AA Pro sport walnut .22

Scope I have narrowed to:

Hawke Sidewinder 30 Tactical SF 6.5-20x42

Hawke Airmax 30 6-24x50

Hawke Airmax EV 4-12x50 AO

However people have commented to make sure I get a good set of mounts/rings (are they one piece or separate)

So my question what are a good set of mounts/rings to insure no movement ????

Sportsmatch will do the job.

The Air Arms pro sport is a springer isn't it?

 

For springers I generally prefer one piece mounts as they are specifically designed for rifles with recoil, and are less susceptible to movement. I have been using a single piece mount on my HW95 and not had to alter the zero for a very long time . Just avoid cheap nasty ones off a certain auction site. I'm not going to recommend any specific brand, but do look at different heights too as you can usually get low/medium/high mounts.

+1 good advice.

I use 2 piece Sports Match with an arrestor pin ( always a good idea with a springer) on my 97k with no problems, by chance the last scope on the list is the one I have just taken off. Can't fault the scope but not right for me on that gun being used as I use it.

When I was younger and money was tight I used to buy 2 piece mounts but then drilled and tapped a 6mm thread thru them and connected them together with 6mm studding.
