Sights are typically metallic, either a V notch at the rear, and a post at the front, or a peep sight (small hole in metal disk) at rear, post at front. A scope (short for telescope) is mounted to the rifle, and has a set of cross hairs that can be adjusted up/down and left/right. It has the effect of bringing the target closer. You adjust cross hairs so they are crossing where the bullet strikes. However, simple metal sights may be preferred to a scope in certain conditions- low light, snap shooting, etc. There ARE other sights, such as the "red dot" sight- they superimpose a dot on the image of your target (only in your view- not really on the target) Unlike a scope, most do not magnify the target image.

What is the hole in the rear sight of the Crosman Quest 1000x?
I had to go look at my Quest 1000x and could not find any hole in the sight, but my Quest is about 4 years old and Crosman may have added it to yours. Usually a sight with a small hole is called a peep sight. I have a notch sight on my rifle. The only other hole on top of the rifle is towards the back of the barrel and that is a Scope stop. Some scopes have a pin on the bottom pf the scope mount to place in the hole, this keeps the scope from moving when the rifle fires.

How do I sight in the scope on the utg l96 air-soft rifle I have sighted it in but for some reason at 50 ft I have to look at the middle of the top center line of the scope to hit the target?
When you sight any rifle or gun in you have to sight it in for the distance that you will most commonly use it. Then you have to compensate for other distances when it is necessary. Set a target at 50 feet and sight your rifle for that distance. At 75 feet your sight will be slightly below the impact point. at 25 feet your sight will be above the impact point. At 50 feet you will be right on. Remember Air-soft is NOT a precision weapon. Round BB have a tendency to wonder off target because they tumble by design not spin. Remember to always mount your bottom scope rings on the rail first then place the scope in the lower rings and last place the top rings in place. Do it any other way and the scope will never get aligned correctly.
