Man-o-woods Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) I have just purchased a Logun Eagle. Nice little gun only the comb is far to high and I cant see through the scope. A mate suggested fitting a set of scope raisers. What are the disadvantages of fitting said scope raisers? is it a reliable fix or should I move the gun on?

FalconFN Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 The only disadvantage of raising the scope up is the further you move the scope away from the barrel the more you are looking down on the pellets trajectory rather than along it, but in reality an inch or two won't make much difference once you know the points of impact.

team tractor Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I have a pair here you can have for nothing If you ever pass tamworth . Down side is it throws your scope out more for different ranges . Remember the closer the scope to the barrel the flatter the tradjectory. The only time I used them is so I was able to use a 60mm lense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man-o-woods Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) I kinda thought that would be the result. But if I take an average range of 30m I will just need to allow the tolerance for closer or more distant targets. not so vital with an Air rifle. Thanks for the offer but I don't often get out as far as Tamworth. I'm gonna be cheeky and ask if you'll post them to me.. Don't ask don't get and all that ',:0) Edited January 10, 2014 by Man-o-woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Have a look at Chairgun, you can see the change of trajectory and POI with different scope heights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT SEARCHER Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 The main problem i have found with very high scope mounts. Is the trajectory and point of impact. And the slightest knock even transporting the gun in it`s bag can knock it of zero. It`s a pain in the ****. That you have to re-zero or check your zero every time you shoot. Has i have said before this is why i got shut of my Logun Eagle plus air leaks. If the Stock doesn`t suit you or doesn`t fit you. Has nice as the stock looks. If it doesn`t feel right when you shoulder the gun you will never be happy with it. I thought about having the stock worked on but with the second air cylinder in the butt of the stock it`s very limited how much it could be altered and still look right. I thought you had put it on GUN WATCH for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I have a pair here you can have for nothing If you ever pass tamworth . Down side is it throws your scope out more for different ranges . Remember the closer the scope to the barrel the flatter the tradjectory. The only time I used them is so I was able to use a 60mm lense That is the big issue, if you simply range shoot at a known distance it will make no difference once you have established zero. Out in the field the variables are larger for shorter/longer range shooting, the difference may not be a problem in some situations, but you keep the scope as sensibly close to the barrel as possible for good reason!

secretagentmole Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Once you master the greater curve, it is easy, the height of the scope about the barrel on a bull pup is a case in point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man-o-woods Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Where abouts are you I live in Aldershot Hampshire. Quite away from you.

I thought you had put it on GUN WATCH for sale. It is up for sale but as Ive had no interest as yet I thought I'd explore the alternatives.
