Scope Upgrade for Ignite Black Ops Sniper Air Rifle

The Ignite Black Ops Sniper air rifle is a great airgun. But - like many air rifles that are supplied with a bundled scope - the 4 x 32 scope supplied with it is by far the weakest link in the whole outfit. This Hammers 3-9 x 40AO scope upgrade is a great value that will that will transform your shooting when installed on the Black Ops Sniper airgun.



Compared to the 4 x 32 scope and rings included in the box with the Ignite Black Ops Sniper air rifle, this upgrade offers the following great benefits that will increase your chances of shooting accurately with your airgun:

- Zoom scope gives a range of magnifications (3 -9 x), allowing you to make your target appear larger (and easier to hit!).

- Improved optical quality gives a sharper image.

- AO (Adjustable Objective) capability allows the scope to be focused sharply down to close distances (5 yards).

- Mil dot reticle makes immediate corrections for range and wind easy to do.

- Easier adjustment of elevation and windage as no tool is required to turn the turrets.

- Larger objective lens give a brighter image in low light conditions.



Minimum focusing distance is 5 yards with Adjustable Objective (AO) focusing.

Finished in adonized matt black with a bright, sharp image, this scope has a black "mil dot" reticle that's very beneficial for airgun use.



You simply mount this Hammers scope into the rings that were supplied with the Black Ops Sniper air rifle and sight it in.

A one piece airgun mount is included with the Hammers scope. This does NOT fit the Weaver rails on the Black Ops air rifle, but you can use it on other airguns that use standard airgun rails.

Hammers products have a limited lifetime warranty which is provided by the US importers, Wing-Sun Trading of La Mirada CA.

Replacement Breech Seals for the Ignite Black Ops Sniper Air Rifle

The Ignite Black Ops Sniper Air Rifle is an interesting and innovative airgun that's widely available at Walmart stores.


Above we see the Black Ops Sniper Rifle fitted with a much higher quality 4-16x40AO CenterPoint scope for testing.

Among many unusual features such as included bipod legs and a fully adjustable stock, the Ignite Black Ops Tactical Professional Grade Sniper Air Rifle (wow, what a mouthful for a product name!) actually has an instruction manual that looks as if it was written by someone who knows something about air rifles!

This 12-page operator's manual gives a surprisingly good "Troubleshooting Guide" that covers many common issues that upset the performance of spring/piston air rifles, such as problems caused by loose stock screws and defective breech seals. They even give brief advice on the correct techniques for shooting a spring/piston air rifle and the need for practice to obtain good accuracy.

This is in stark contrast to the approach taken by many airgun vendors, where the absolute minimum of information is presented to the new user, often in the form of pictograms that are not intuitive in any language.

While it's refreshing to see such information included with an air rifle, the Black Ops (or is it "Ignite"?) manual advises that breech seals can leak and that they should then be replaced.

But where can replacement breech seals be obtained? At Archer Airguns, of course...

New at Archer Airguns online store is a kit comprising 6 replacement breech seals for the Ignite Black Ops Tactical Professional Grade Sniper Air Rifle.
