concerning accuracy

[cisc]

ok im shooting a rws350 currently unscoped..

the dial on the rear sight is on 3 from the shop. all my shots seem to go a little high from where i aim,but I only have about 100 pellets through it so far, and only tested benjamin pcp 105g pellets.

so.. should i start turning the knob or just keep on shooting? should i get some other pellets to see if they are closer to the target? (I already know this is a yes actually)

the scope will be here next wednesday, im going to want to sight it in, never done that so expect a thread on that next week haha!


im shooting in the garage at about 7.5 yards.
not long range i know but right now thats all i got.

Sights are adjustable SO YOU ADJUST THEM to fine tune your POI

[cisc]

yeah i know, i was more asking, do i need TO ADJUST THEM RIGHT AWAY or if I should wait since the rifle may still be in a break in period...

Go ahead and adjust.  If your gun is still breaking in, you will be adjusting it from time to time, anyway.  The 350 is not an easy gun to shoot.  Takes time to learn it but worth the effort.   And get some different pellets, too.  Springers can be pellet fussy.

At 10 yds i have most of mine set about 2 in low that way they are pretty close at 20 yd range.

At 7.5 yards most any quality pellet will do. Adjust it to hit where you aim. If you can get outside where you can have more range, I would suggest 10 yards next, then maybe out to 15 yards. If you can get it good at 15 yards then you know the barrel is good. Then if you get a scope at least you know the barrel is good and if problems should arise you will know that it is the scope or something not coming back in the same position every time.
