All:
I have a Crosman 140, a 147, and a Benjamin 347.  I like 'em, but the poor
sights take a lot of the edge off the fun (re:  only accurate guns are fun). 
I
might be able to figure out how to put a peep sight on them, but my 
oon-to-be
50 year old eyes don't even handle peeps as well as they used to.  No, the
answer seems to be mounting a modest scope of some kind.  
This brings up a chronic problem with these type of pump-up airguns.  
1.)  If you use the clamp-on-the-barrel-with-scope-grooves type mount, the
scope will tend to be too far forward if it's a standard rifle scope.  If you
get the scope back far enough to use, it's pretty well cantilevered off the
mounts that are somewhere in front of the receiver.  Not the optimal set-up.
2.)  Perhaps this clamp-on-the-barrel type of mount with a pistol scope would
be better?  Kind of like a scout gun with the scope half-way up the barrel?
Has anyone tried this?
3.)  If one uses a clamp-over-the-receiver type mount, it gets the rifle 
cope
back where it can be used, but the scope then takes the place where my hand
wants to be when I'm putting three to eight pumps in the gun.  Makes it less
tempting to shoot more than just a little bit.
What are all the genius' on this service doing about their multi-pump
pneumatic
sights???
