pedro68 3 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hi there . i have a question for everyone , i recently bought a second hand S200,my problem is when i zero the gun at say 15yards and the fire it into the pellet trap in my garage at 5 yards the gun is shooting about 4mm to the left , if i rezero at this range and then go back out my back garden and shoot at 15yards again its off zero again, i will need to go to my permission and check what its like at 30 yards ,my springer however is zeroed at 25yard and it doesnt do this ,i can shoot from 5 to 35 yards and the left and right doesnt move only the hold over or under.i have removed the silencer on the s200 and tried it again in case it was clipping it but it makes no difference , now im wondering what to do and whats causing this ,could the barrel be warped and would this cause that and how much to repair if this was the cause , i not happy with as iv shelled out a load of cash on this gun and fear my old springer is putting it to shame .please somebody help me aaaaaahhhhhhhh Peter Quote Link to post
Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hi Peter. Could be the scope itself, do you kow the scope is ok ? Are you canting the rifle, and is the reticule stadia square to the rifle? Try swopping the mounts around. Does the rifles barrel like the pellets you are using? Be good to try her at 20/30yds. A few things to try mate. Bill. Quote Link to post
pedro68 3 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 hi there ,thanks for the replys , i will try and change the mounts around and if that dont work ill swap the scope and try that ,if the scope rails are not true can these be adjusted,at least if try this it will either cure it or rule it out of the equation . thanks for the advice.

barrywhite 282 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I have had and have got similar problems with some guns and sights.So I zero the gun at 35 yards..22,45 yards .177.and except that at a very close ranges the gun is slightly out.For hunting this is not a big problem.just annoying.
