What is the hole in the rear sight of the Crosman Quest 1000x?

I had to go look at my Quest 1000x and could not find any hole in the sight, but my Quest is about 4 years old and Crosman may have added it to yours. Usually a sight with a small hole is called a peep sight. I have a notch sight on my rifle. The only other hole on top of the rifle is towards the back of the barrel and that is a Scope stop. Some scopes have a pin on the bottom pf the scope mount to place in the hole, this keeps the scope from moving when the rifle fires.

How do I sight in the scope on the utg l96 air-soft rifle I have sighted it in but for some reason at 50 ft I have to look at the middle of the top center line of the scope to hit the target?

When you sight any rifle or gun in you have to sight it in for the distance that you will most commonly use it. Then you have to compensate for other distances when it is necessary. Set a target at 50 feet and sight your rifle for that distance. At 75 feet your sight will be slightly below the impact point. at 25 feet your sight will be above the impact point. At 50 feet you will be right on. Remember Air-soft is NOT a precision weapon. Round BB have a tendency to wonder off target because they tumble by design not spin. Remember to always mount your bottom scope rings on the rail first then place the scope in the lower rings and last place the top rings in place. Do it any other way and the scope will never get aligned correctly.

Scope Mounts - Getting what you pay for?

What is a scope mountYou are a hunter, or new to hunting. After finding the rifle you want and the scope you want, you still need to mount the scope to the rifle. Scope mounts hold the scope securely to the rifle.Getting what you pay forBuying a rifle and scope is much like finding a wife, it is strictly a matter of personal taste. Too frequently new hunters will spend exorbitant amounts on the rifle and scope, but skimp on the mounts. This is a costly mistake.The mounts hold your scope securely and help keep your scope true. If you are willing to drop several hundred to thousands of dollars on a scope, the least you should do is consider quality scope mounts. The rifle is only as good as the person behind it, but the finest shooter in the world will miss if the scope is not spot on. Quality, durable mounts will last the life of the rifle, scope and possibly outlast the owner.How to mount scope mountsMore often than not the gun shop where you buy your new rifle will mount your scope for you at no charge. If you are a do it yourself type, here are a few suggestions.Place the bases on the rifle. Check and be absolutely certain they are straight. Tighten them hand tight with the hand tools provided with the mounts. Put your scope in the mounts. Check your eye relief. This is the distance from the optical part of the scope to your eye. Too far and you will not be able to see out of the scope correctly. Too close and when you sight it in for the first time, you are going to have a black eye and possibly need stitches.Once your eye relief is set and you are happy, put the top part of your mounts on your scope. Place the screws in the holes and tighten. As you tighten the screws, tighten each one a bit at a time to be sure the mount is secured evenly. Before the final tighten, check your scope to make sure it is level. Finish and go sight in!
