m.hubbard 1 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 ivhad it at all diffrent pressures as iv got a compresser at work with a gauge and nope nothng still does the same . im just gunna send it back me thinks . think im just gunna invet in a ultra like a was gunna in the first place . i'll have to take a pic of the groups i get with smk as for a 60 pound rifle it's wicked and people slag the rabbit stopper off but at the min that works better too Quote Link to post
SteveieP 0 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Start with the basics 1) clean the barrel 2)check the stock screws are tight 3)Check scope mounts are screwed on tight (scope-creep could be your problem) 4)check the scopes are not moving within the mounts 5)Use the same brand of pellet ALL the time (whichever brand has given best grouping in the past), different weights, head-types & manufacturers pellets may give a different point of aim 6)Frustration can make you a twitchy bast--d. Use a bean bag & a rest & make sure you use the same hold every time, Don't exert yourself, breath slow & relax because shooting is enjoyable. If all fails, sell me the gun for a tenner £, you go to the pub with the tenner & I'll shoot the effin' thing. Quote Link to post
