    Does the QB78D or AR2078A have a dovetail for a scope?

    I'm looking at the QB78D or the AR2078A air rifles and I can't find any clear pictures or details stating it they have dovetails for a scope. Do they?

    They are fantastic rifles all around.

    You can accurize them for target level performance. Lots of them are being used as FT platforms. They take to HPA very easily. And can be switched back to c02 by screwing on an end cap....Can't say anything bad about them really.

    Let's not be totally misleading- sometimes they need to be disassembled and cleaned when new- Chinese factory sometimes isn't so good on "cleanup".

    That being said, they are likely the best value for money in airguns, period- but be prepared to do a bit of work to make it as good as it can be. Don't get me wrong, they will shoot fine out-of-the-box, but a little cleaning can go a long way (think of having a seal kit nearby if taking it apart).
    I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...

    Lauchlin is refering to the Crosman 160. It is the gun the Qb 78 was copied from. You would have to find one used as they were discontinued quite a number of years ago.

    The QB-78 is just a clone of the crosman 160

    I don't understand

    Your saying people actually just shoot an airgun without tearing it to bits first?

    I'm confused
