This is most likely the wrong way!!!!!I just did a friends gun he had scope all the way up and still needed to go up more.For quick fix I centered scope and put a shim under front ring.Worked like a charm
On my zeroing I center the adjustments both windage and elavation before I mount it to the rifle !I start at 10 yds get it on then out to 20 yds! Right now I am just about bottomed out on elavation and just about ten clicks to the left to be bottomed out on adjustments .I have no idea what causes adjustments to get this far out from square ! pappywith4
I dont like the idea that the scope is just about all the way to the left is there something I can do for that?I thought about putting the shim on the otherside of the hinge , take it from tne left and put it on the right! Would that be going in the wrong direction? Pappy

Mine was shooting to the right after tightening that bolt. Btw, that shim is on the left side of the barrel when you are aiming the gun. If I were you and I have taken apart the barrel from the receiver, I will do that again..... sometimes miracles happen.
Thank you nced! I know I did take all the play out of the pivot so I will look into the matter !pappywith4
He doesn't have a springer. His has the vortex conversion. OM
As I read this, all of these problems started AFTER you replaced the gas ram? How did it shoot before the replacement? Was it shooting good groups even with a partially discharged ram? What is the normal ram pressure? How is the barrel lockup working ok? I don't know if your rifle has a ball bearing, or a chisel point, but could the lockup be weak? Just a bunch of questions from someone who doesn't have your rifle, and probably knows nothing, but would like to help, if I can.

Now not so much, but I will get it back!Don't know what the normal pressure is but this one is at 140 bar!I have a chisel point and the lock up is stout!

Glad to know you have finally sorted out the zero problem and enjoying your acorn plinking.
A very short and quick thought...I watched the guys on PA doing videos of different break barrels rifles and I was a bit horrified by how hard the cocked the rifle, and also how hard they slammed the barrel back into place. These are NOT Varmint or Sniper rifles, [regardless of what Hatsan calls them]. A varmint firearm; like [Remington 700 223 rem Varminter], for example has a very THICK barrel. This is primarily to prevent warping due to heat.These break barrel air rifles have milder steel barrels and it's easy to bend them. Just ask some of the people who recommend bending your barrels to correct droop!!! Yerk!!! So gently bump the top of the barrel to release the lock; pull gently to cock it without banging it at the bottom of the pull.THEN gently lift the barrel back up with just enough umph to make it catch the latch pin.If you close the barrel and didn't quite get it to latch, you're getting close.Hold the muzzle break and lift it a little bit firmer. You'll get it closed.Slamming the barrel shut will guarantee your barrel is looking up in the air!!! Cocking the rifle with a bang at the bottom of your pull, will guarantee you're gonna have a drooper!Same example: Don't drive your brand new car/truck like they do in commercials either. You'll buggar it up quickly!!!
