mark01856 7 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) hi, as some of you may know i have got my old hw77 back. i tried setting the scope for my girlfriends brother to use, so he could come out rabbiting with me at the weekend. i set a target up at 30 yards, and took 3 shots, THEY WAS ABOUT 6 INCH APART!! i put that down to me using my pcp now going back to the springers, but i could not get a zero. there was a strong side wind which COULD have something to do with the loose groups. so i set a target up at 10 yard and i was getting about 1 inch groups. i changed the scope but the same thing. i am going to wait for the next calm day to try zero again, to rule out the weather. now i dont know if it is my shooting or if there is something to fault with this rifle. any suggestions? p.s. i used to be a good shot with this gun.

targa 5 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I had the same problem when I went back to springers again, after my Techstar adventure. Springers are different things to shoot. Why dont you try 25m, and 30 more shots to zero, it will be spot on. Quote Link to post
mark01856 7 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 thanks guys, i took the silencer off, and it seems to be shooting fine but only checked at 15 yard, i will try 20 then 30 yard some time this week when(if) the wind has died down. cheers Quote Link to post
