Zeroing And Grouping Help!

[ryanod90 17]

Hi Guys

 

Have not been at much shooting this year and was using my gun the last 3 days and can't get it to zero or have any type of acceptiabke groups. All seems fine when zeroing at 25 yards. But even at that the groups are about 2 inchs and I use to have my groups at 1 cm.

 

And at 35 yards there is no pattern to the groupings

 

I have new mount master mounts and also there seems to be a lot of scope paralax

Nothing in mounts are loose.

 

I have a tx200 and a mount master scope.

 

Anyone help me on this issue its appreciated.

 

Thanks

Ryan

Still using the same pellets ?

Cleaned the barrel lately ?

Your scope might be canting

Mounts could be on the piss a bit

Just a thought

Barrell cleaned 3days ago

Same pellets as always (air arms field)

 

Canting what you mean by that ?

How could I check mounts ?

[David.evans 5,323]

Hang a plumb line at your zeroed distance ,

And look thro your scope the top of the vertical line and the bottom should line up( with the plumb line)

If not the further out you shoot you will be off

And make sure your rifle is level as well

Give it a try , hope this helps

Check to see if the pellets are clipping the silencer mate, this happened on a gun of mine a while ago, when i put a new silencer on everything went perfect

Your just off form... Get back at it and it'll come back. I f**k off on holiday for a week and I'm about 5mm out if I don't shoot for any length of time.

Sorry Rez

It's spec savers for you mate , get them tested while your away lol

Cant or no cant doesn't explain a big group. Relax, back to basics, light hold, consistent hand placement.

 

Parallax is a bitch. Low mag will help, as will shorter eye relief, and focus the objective lens so the target and cross hair are crystal.

 

If you still have big groups then it's not your technique.

Hi Guys

 

Thanks for all the help scope was chanted pretty bad and also parallax is really bad, seen a scratch in the top of my scope and I asked my brother if he had used my gun and he had and hit the scope of a gate while climbing over it. After my hissy fit at him I am now thinking that along with my technic as well as the scope chanted would my scope be broke and this is causing the parallax?

 

Thanks

Not dieseling as well is it?

Has your brother put any oil near her because the symptoms say dieseling and, or, busted scope , any smoke or smells when you fire the gun Ryan ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you forgiven your brother yet ?

if you scope got a good bash it could be a problem something may be loose inside .did you clean your gun barrel because of inaccuracy , the cleaning process may have given you the problem also did your brother stab your barrel into the ground . if so he may have or your barrel crown may have gotten damaged in some way . also the pellet thing if you are using a new tin of pellets but your usual brand this could be the problem .

No smoke or smellnat all put about 300 pellets trought it over the weekend trying to figure out what way it was shooting.

 

 

The brother will be funding a new scopeif it's knocked out !

 

Missing the field at the mo!
