Crosman 2100 Classic gets s huge scope upgrade

Caution: Airguns Are Not Toys! If misused they can cause Serious Injury or Death . READ  All Cautions and Instruction and Manuals BEFORE handling.

Above: The Crosman Targetfinder Superscope is not going to work for me. I was able to shoot with this scope, but it was a real strain.

Above: Ok, I probably paid more for this scope than I did for the Crosman 2100 Classic. This UTG Leapers scope was on a custom Co2 carbine that I never shoot. So it is in really good shape.

Above: So far I like everything about this scope. For starters, it has easy to read windage and elevation turrets. No magnifying glass and screwdriver needed to make adjustments. These turrets have a crisp audible click. 1/4 " per click at 100 yards. very nice.

Above: If you are new to the whole scope thing, I'll try to explain what the info on the scope means "as best as I can". I am certainly not an expert when it comes to scopes. But I do use optics on everything I shoot, so I do know slightly more than nothing. The first two numbers 3 - 9 indicate  the ability to adjust the magnification from 3 x to 9 x. The numeral 40 indicates the size of the objective  lens in this case a 40 mm lens.

Above: The A.O. indicates this scope has an adjustable objective.  AO allows you to keep the image and cross hairs sharp at  different distances. The AO on the scope shown above is set at 50 yards.

Above: Mil-dots are the evenly spaced dots on the crosshairs. These are used to compensate  for (on the horizontal reticle)  windy conditions. Say you have a steady left to right wind blowing across the front of your target. You might move over 1 mil dot to the left of center to compensate for the wind blowing your projectile off center of your target.
        On the vertical reticle these mil dots are used to compensate for changes in distance. Say your air rifle is sighted-in (or zeroed) at 50 yards. And you find yourself 70 yards from your target. You might line up your target up with the first mil dot below center to compensate for the longer distance. You might want to practice doing this. Because your pellet weight and the power of your rifle
are different than mine. I am just using one Mil dot as an example.

Above : Another nice feature is the (red / green) light up reticle . EZ Tap press G for Green and R for Red. Keep tapping selected color to change brightness.

 Above: Example of a Green reticle. This feature is used in low light conditions or when you need more contrast.

Above: You can also fine focus the eyepiece by rotating the ring. These are all features to give the shooter the best possible view of the target.

Above: This is the ring for setting your level of magnification. It's pretty much self explanatory. Just a suggestion. Too much magnification can make it difficult to locate your target.

Above: Today I started to sight in the Crosman 2100 Classic at close range. When I am satisfied I will take it out back and gradually move back until I have it zeroed  at my desired distance.

Above: Now that the scope issue is taken care of. The trigger is still a problem. I need to soften and smooth out the trigger pull if I am going to get the most performance and enjoyment out of shooting the 2100 Classic.

Above: Today I ordered a new Sear (18) and a new Sear spring (19) Also ordered a new trigger spring (not shown) My plan is to modify all 3.  Hopefully the trigger pull will be much better when I'm finished. Looking forward to doing a blog post about that in the near future.  Another chronograph is out of commission. I have just about talked myself into ordering a FX doppler chronograph. Always wear eye protection. And sound protection as needed. EYES AND EARS!
