880 Question, Experts needed

Recently bought two 880s within the last month. Both new, one from Bass Pro and one from Walmart

The Bass pro one has a fiber optic front site while the Walmart one does not. Any reason for this?

Note, the bass pro 880 was the gun itself

The Walmart 880 was the gun w/ provided daisy scope

Budget night vision scopes/clip ons

I’ve been interested in upgrading my rat hunting game and want to get a night vision infrared scope or clip on for my air Venturi avenger in .25. My budget is around $400. The models I’ve been looking at are the night owl optics night shot, the guune digital night vision scope, and the DNT optics zulus HD 5-20x night vision scope. If anyone has experience with any of these models or something in the budget that would work well I would appreciate your feedback. I’m not shooting at a very long range for rats since I will be in a barn. Thanks!

Which HW rifle is MOST RELIABLE?

Hey yall I’m hoping to buy my first Welraunch springer or gas piston soon, I have my eyes on the HW 50s but unsure if it would be better or worse than an under lever model?

I want this rifle to be the most reliable air gun with little maintenance as possible but also light enough to dink around the woods with to take game.

.177 cal, light as possible, able to shoot game with, accurate

that’s all, thanks guys

Where in Canada could I possibly get my Hellboy Hellraiser bb rifle repaired?

A few weeks ago, I had disassembled my Hellboy to lubricate the mechanisms inside the gun, and the charging handle of which when pulled back opens the dust cover, had fallen out which in turn ended up stretching the spring that usually pulls the charging handle back when it's released. This has taken all the tension out of the spring and it will no longer retract the charging handle back to its original position. When I was reading the manual on Air Venturi and their warranty policy, I saw that they had a list of different reasons why they wouldn't take it back and it made me worried that they wouldn't service it since they would believe I wasn't taking care of the rifle and abusing it, or something along those lines. I'm not quite sure of what to do and it's annoying because this gun cost $200+ and I would hate to not be able to get this fixed. I would deeply appreciate any suggestions because I really need some help with this.

Question

Do you have recommendations for airpistols with 7.5 (or close to) joule. Ideally shooting 4.5 diabolo and costing less than 150€

Hawke Vantage Scope Keeps Loosing Zero?!?

https://preview.redd.it/9xu16eykhf4e1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f228891fc816f8fec8db1d0565466484bf95c1c1

Looking for some help troubleshooting my scope. I finally put a scope on my rifle this spring after using irons for a few years. I'm very happy with it but I notice it keeps loosing zero. After about 400-500 pellets it'll have drifted about half an inch at 25 yards. It's done it at least five times since I started using it. I have a torque screw driver and I'm certain none of the screws on the scope rings or the rifle have loosened. I shoot at home, the rifle doesn't get bumped around and it's stored in a soft rifle case at a consistent room temperature. I've always used the same pellet and the change of impact isn't tied to starting a different tin. I'm new to scopes and I'm at a loss. It's not normal for a scope to loose zero like this right?? Is this a warranty issue?

Rifle: Weihrauch HW30S in .177

Ammo: JSP Match Diabolo Exact RS .177 7.33gr

Scope: Hawke Vantage AO 4x32

Rings: SportMatch Medium Height

Torque specs: 15 in-lb on the rings and 22.5 in-lb on the rail. Screws on the rifle as per Weihrauch specs; 22in-lb on the front stock screws, 44 in-lb large trigger guard screw and 22 in-lb on the rear trigger guard screw.
