 Did they mention to check the screws that hold the action in the stock ?

Have you done anything with the trigger?  You can tighten all the screws you want, replace scopes until you're bankrupt, but unless you've done something with the trigger you're unlikely to EVER get a decent group.

You can actually deal with heavy triggers and get decent groups. All comes down to practice. I think we need to get rid of the stigma. that unless you put lighter trigger in everything, you never will shoot good. My competition pistol trigger is 2.5# heavier than others I shoot with.

But OP how are you holding it? Spring airguns require looser arty hold in order for it to group well. I find alot placement of my thumb on my supporting hand makes a difference. If I wrap it over the wrist of the stock, I get a different group, as say resting the thumb on the right side.

And how tight are the groups you are getting?

    My new Crosman F4 (same as the Fire) trigger has afairly light pull. But, it has way too much travel. I will try to adjust it. I also have a longer screw to try. I can live with the pull weight.
