I don't want to go pcp. Maybe I need to find a good pumper. Any suggestions on a good pumper.
I have 500 to 1000 shots on the gun using crosman premier hollow points.
I am going to check all the stock screws to see if anything is loose.
There is just something wrong with hitting 600 yard targets with my 223 and not being able to hit a 20 yard target with my springer.
I got about 1/4 turn on all the stock screws and I just shot 5 groups of 5 pellets and the groups were quarter size or less. I can live with this for now. After I get another couple of hundred shots on the gun I may snug the screws up again.I want to get the gun shooting with the cheap crosman pellets. The main reason that I got an air gun was to be able to shoot for very low cost. When I order pellets and the pellets end up costing over 8 cents per pellet then it is no longer cheaper to shoot pellets than it is to shoot 22lr.Once the size of the groups get below 1", the accuracy of the scope comes into play. I may need to get a better scope so that I can put the final touches on the group sizes.
I don't think that it is the gun. If I lay the gun on some bags and only touch the trigger the gun will shoot .5" groups at 20 yards using the optima scope. If I hold the gun in any way then I get 1.5" groups. I have tried many different holds. Has anyone else experience a gun that does not want to be touched?
