OMG I should have paid more attention to your post here. I owned a Gamo Bone Collector and had a [beeep] of a time getting the scope to stay in place.
I went out and bought another Gamo Whisper Fusion Elite Rifle as I liked the looks of the stock and the adjustable comb on the thing.
My Gamo Whisper Fusion Elite Scope did the very same thing. I took it to the range last Sunday afternoon and noticed that the reticle was rotated about 10 deg to the side. When I mounted it I made sure that the scope reticle was perfect with the scope and rifle level. I use the Wheeler Engineering Level Level Devise from their Professional Scope mounting devices. I used blue loc tite material and the Wheeler Engineering Fatman torque wrench and all the proper mounting techniques.
I had the rifle sighted in a about 25 yards at the same rifle range a month or two before last Sunday. I took it up to this same range and made sure it was zeroed at 25 yards and was shooting perfectly and hitting the bulls eye on my Shoot N C targets. I stored the gun in a plastic with foam gun case and carried it in the back end of my pick up truck.
The gun is still hitting the bulls eye at the range but the reticle is definitely out of line from where it was before.
How can a company make a scope that's so easily damage by shooting on their own air gun? They sell this Gamo Whisper Fusion Elite at Ganger Mountain. I wish now that I had not bought the thing. It was not cheap either.
I have had major problems with the Gamo Scopes over the past few years.
I also bought one of ther 3x9x32 or 40 Gamo scopes with the laser light and flash light on it. I paid about $80 for that one at Gander Mountain in Evansville, IN. I ended up taking that one back to the store and getting my money back. It was junk too.
I've tried really hard to get these Gamo scope/rifles to shoot properly but I give up. When the inside of the scope is rattling around inside the scope and moving around without me making any adjustments to the dials then something is definitely wrong.
I would advise anyone thinking about buying the Gamo Brand Scopes these days to think twice and buy something else. These scopes are pure junk IMHO.
I have a Crossman CO2 pellet Rifle that was multi-shot and killed more squirrels with that thing before the CO2 seal started leaking and the rifle would not hold CO2 gas for more than a few seconds. At least when it worked it shot straight. But the CO2 type air rifles don't have the kick that the springer do.
I need a good scope that can stand up to the kick of these Gamo Inert Gas System Air Guns. I was hoping that the IGS would give less kick and recoil and protect the scopes better. And I was hoping that the Gamo scope were built stronger to protect them on their own guns. But I was wrong. They are junk. I've given three of these scopes the benefit of the doubt for way too long.
I'm sick now that I paid out over $400 for these two air rifles and the scopes that came with them are JUNK. No wonder I can't hit anything.
I got these to kill some squirrels that raid my bird feeders and steal all my sunflower seeds before the birds get to them. I bet that I've taken over 15 shots at squirrels that were well within range and missed them completely. I see now that it's the scopes that are causing the problem.
I admit that the first rifle (bone collector) I failed to mount the scope on the rifle properly and didn't use the blue loc tite. But after I figured out what I did wrong and mounted the scope properly and it still didn't shoot straight. I guess it's moving around inside the scope too. The reticle is not rotated but I can't hit squat with this gun either.
And I'm using the same type of pellets for the gun when setting the zero on the guns and when hunting with them. So that's not a variable that I have to worry about. And I shooting at about the same range at the squirrels as I am at the target at the rifle range.
I should at least be hitting the squirrels somewhere and making them jump. But they just sit there and look at me like nothing has happened. I know that I'm missing them by miles for some reason. Now I'm pretty sure it's the scope that are out of wack.

So i guess my question is can you fix that and if you can how much will it cost. If not how much would be a good replacement scope at least a 9x40. I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER GAMO SCOPE.
