It now wears a Weaver rimfire scope, which they rate for springers. This is a really big, ungainly, heavy rifle to begin with, so mounting a scope doesn't really ruin its aesthetic appeal. It didn't have any to begin with. The 34 is just too nice to encumber like that.

I continue to be amazed Jeff...this 34 is simply jaw dropping
. The newer T06 triggers are the sweetest thing I've ever shot with, and just for grins, I went out to 70, then 100 yds yesterday....bout a 6" drop at 70, and then I didn't even hit the target on a couple shots. So I aimed a bit higher....consistent 2' drop at 100 yds, and the two shots were an inch apart...couldn't believe an air rifle could do this!
Now I'm on the hunt for a 52 (seem to be discontinued) or a 48, with the T06 trigger, in .177 with a scope for my uncle....he says "dang you" too
. BTW...my uncle is simply drooling over the T06 trigger....and he has a trigger costing several hundred on his custom made hunting rifle that is less than 1lb...if you haven't squeezed one yet,you should! As far as scopes....he will shoot a fraction of what you do....don't know which brand comes with a 48, as most sites say it isn't the Leapers shown in the pics. The search is on....
