How to zero?

[tepper82 0]

1.. Mark a cross on an A4 paper.

2.. Set it out at 15 yards.

3.. Fire a minimum of 3 shots (preferably 5) at your target.

4.. See where the group is formed (best group of holes) in relation to the centre of the cross.

5.. Adjust your windage either left or right to move the next group closer to the upright of the cross.

6.. Repeat step 3 to 5 until group is on the vertical line of the cross.

7.. Adjust the Elevation turret either up (if the group is below the horozontal) or down if the group is above it.

8.. Repeat step 3 and 7 until the group is all shooting as close to the cross in the middle as you can.

 

Are you using a springer or PCP?

i now have a problem! trying to refill the rifle for the first time, using a hand pump and it seems like air is coming back out of the inlet hole on the barrel of the gun, is there something im not doing right?

 

cheers

The only windage i know about is the after affects of beans

twas probably mentioned previously, but do make sure you get the scope level before you start zeroing it as it'll never be quiteright otherwise! you can use a brickies line level on the gun and scope to make sure theyre both true when you put the scope on...

al the best, wurz

hiya mate......if you are filling your gun from empty.....you will need to use a dive bottle as there simply isnt enough umphhh with a stirrup pump......air will pass the "dump" valve.......if that makes sense

What gun is it?

 

I know some require the bolt to be pulled back to bypass the vent system (Think I've got that from someone on here)

its a webley raider mate, we got it zerod perfectly yesterday 5 shots and a grouping of around 10mm.

 

only thing is we are using a hand pump and cant seem to get the pressure above 100bar,

Sweet grouping

 

Suggestions?

 

Pump faster, but not too fast or your seal may get hot go pop like mine did

 

Once your at 100 bar, it will get harder but you just have to keep going and put as much weight on the down stroke as you can. I'm lucky (or not as the case may be) to find putting 190 bar is almost as easy as putting 10 bar in due to my build quantity; Not quality :laugh:

 

Another thing, check that the pressure guage and the pressure release screw on the pump are not leaking.

My guage is and if I leave it to stand, I do loose pressure *note to self, get a new guage tight arse!
