I put a new barrel on my R9. put my scope on it it was hitting about 3" low at 9yds shimmed the rear scope mount and got it just about and pellets went to about a 3" scatter another dead scope. That gun has killed every scope I put on it. I'm wondering if an ajustable mount but would I be back to killing another scope? maybe a Sportsmatch Dampa Mount DM60 1-Pc can I shim it enough to compensate for droop barrel and not kill the scope?With droop barrel if I sight it in at 20 yds and move back to 40 would it be off the bull eye?
PGunnerYou usually have a certain distance to zero the scope. So, when bending (trial and error) you are trying to minimise the scope adjustments for - that distance. For different distances, I don't use anymore clicking, but holdover (or under) when necessary.I did a hole in the base of my homemade spring compressor; it works exactly as the Nced's device does.
If a gun has droop barrel and I sight it in at 35yrds and shoot it at 50yrds or 20 will it hit the target in the same spot or have to be sighted in each distance? Other than normal distance trajectory adjustments.
The OPs gun likely incurs droop from cocking arm interference
Regardless of how likely it is, it takes 10 seconds to check. It's almost like people simply can't believe HW can make a mistake like this to begin with. Let alone the reality that the fix involves a sledge hammer to create play where there wasn't any!
