S-16s general advice for care and scope issue

[bobster46]

Ok so ive just bought a really nice s-16s as a package and i'm looking to all of you for some good advice please. Im keen to keep things ship shape where possible and also want to get the best performance out of her i can. So having bought it can anyone help with the following?

 

 

* I would like to use a cap to protect the end of the rifle when not in use what size cap ( if one available) will i need,? can i also cap the end of the reservoir bottle?

 

* Which lube/grease/oil should i use for the various parts of the rifle and how often should i be applying them?

 

* Im using penetrator pells to start with is there any evidence to suggest that pellet lube has an improved performance through this rifle? And also if im looking to maintain accuracy through 50+ yards is there consistently a reccommended pellet for the job. so far ive bought penetrators in 20.5 g and 16.5g and some Napier UPH's lubricated to monitor effects.

 

* Will i lose a significant amount of air every time i remove the cylinder from the stock ? e.g once attached is it more economical to fire 200 ish shots before i take the cylinder off, or can i fire ten shots, remove, store, then re attach and achieve the same power output?

 

* I was wanting to mount my Hawke nite eye 3-12x50 AO IR but the single mounts i have on it are just too narrow for the rail, at present its fitted with double screw mounts and a richter Optik 3-9x50 AOE but the Hawk is too fat for the double mounts can any one recommend a solution??? either correct mounts for the Nite eye, if this is the better scope? and sell the Richter or sell the Nite eye and leave the other one on.?

 

Guys, and girls :-) ............ any help is very greatly appreciated
