How to Mount a Scope on a Gamo Varmint Hunter

The Gamo Varmint Hunter is a powerful air rifle, capable of firing a .117-caliber pellet at 1,200 feet per second, making the rifle an excellent choice for small-game hunting as well as for target practice. The rifle comes standard with a 4-power fixed scope and a laser sight and flashlight affixed to the scope. If your rifle is missing the scope or you wish to mount a new one, you can use the 3/8-inch base cut into the rifle.
