JH,
I strongly recommend pushing that scope forward (I've used side folders). Your folded unit is longer than it could be with that [fragile] scope sticking out one end. In a pack it is asking to get damaged. Use the collapsible stock to manage optimum eye relief - that is what it's for.
If the scope is repeatable to 1MOA, and you are capable of shooting that well with similar factory ammunition in bolt guns, then you could swap out the barrel for a better quality one. What branded scopes are on your bolt guns?
My earlier advice still stands.
['Repeatability' is the scope's ability to retain zero in the recoil. Cheaper scopes are less able to manage the G-forces of recoil]
