Since I find winter time sometimes "confining" and wish to be shooting, but other factors seem to get in the way. I will often pick up a GAMO .177 air rifle that I bought for my son several years ago and wage war on anything from clay pigeons laid on a snow ridge to pop cans, to just about anything that happens to catch my eye in front of my house. (no neighbors in that direction for at leas a mile). The rear site broke off and I can buy another one from GAMO for about $15 or so, or it is grooved for a scope. Questions are:
Is the cheap little rifle worth buying a decent air gun scope for it? Is there a particular one I might consider, not looking for competition level just a decent little air rifle scope. OR option #3 spending a little money and buying a better air rifle. Honestly in the last few years I have shot it more than about anything else I own. Summer time brings a crop of big yellow grass hoppers hanging on the sides of weeds that have cost me many many thousands of BB's and pellets off and on for the last 40 years. Any opinions for a decent air rifle or air rifle scope without paying a lot of money, honestly would like to have less than $200 in a new rifle or $75 in a scope.
