Mines frigging more accurate than I am

I amazed myself when I put 3 pellets on top of each other into a block of wax! the two from the 19 fused together!!!!

 

Keeping them as I dont reckon I could pull that off again

 

They are (well mine is anyways) accurate in my opinion and I aint done any mods at all!!

Here you go bud,

This might help you out,, with a springer the hold of the rifle as to be soft and allow for follow through, if you master this your rifle will out shoot you all day,, here,s a bit more I borrowed, hope this helps,

Recoiling guns

One of the biggest drawbacks of the spring piston system is its double recoil. When the spring-powered piston is released, it accelerates forward, thrusting the rifle backwards similar to a powder gun. However, before this feeling of firing becomes apparent, the piston bangs into the front end of the compression chamber, causing to stop the rifle's backward movement abruptly, making it violently snapping forward. This also causes the dreaded scope creep, if the scope mounts are not constructed in a way to prevent this.

 

Unfortunately, all this moving happens while the pellet has not yet left the barrel. In fact, at the time the piston hits the front end of the pressure chamber, the pellet has just started to move. The time interval from the piston release to the moment the pellets starts to move in the bore is called the lock time. As airguns have a much longer lock time and barrel time than powder guns, it is not hard to understand why it is more difficult to hit accurately with them.

 

Indeed, this double-recoil is often the cause for great misses. The way the rifle is held; the spot where it is hold, and, how much tension is in your muscles holding it on aim, all those variables greatly affect the movement of the rifle during the firing cycle and therefore the impact point. Some airguns/shooters experience a different POI as much as 4 inches at 35 yards when changing the shooting position! Even after a lot of practice and ten thousands of rounds, you might still not master your gun.

If you haven't already done it, clean the barrel.

Make sure the stock screws are snug, as they can vibrate loose.

Check the muzzle crown to ensre there isn't a tiny burr or somethingon the very end where the pellet exits.

Use decent quality pellets, they make a big difference. The cheapest at the lower end of the price spectrum might be say RWS Superdomes. Don't expect top results from cheap pellets, they're cheap for a reason

Lastly the triggers are not the best, & a good trigger will do much for your consistency.

Quickest trigger fix is a GRT III, which is a whole replacement & a v. cost effective option.

No mechanical skills required

Hi mate it would help if you told us a bit about how the rifle currently performs like what sort of groupings are you getting and at what distance. Otherwise we could all reccomend stuff and you could end up spending loads of money on things that won't actually make any difference. Also do you have a silencer fitted as this can cause problems with accuracy.

Knew gun? the practice thing is a big factor i thought my new gun was not very accurate but now after constant use i find its is extreamly accurate. also silencers do effect it as said. a bad workman blames his tools. by the way im not saying your a bad workman i dont even know you but i was and now improving makes a huge diffference.
