The trigger seems nicer in this one already! I took down a few birds with it already, but the accuracy is kind of jumpy. It seems to shoot 5 shots real tight, but then the group moves an inch up or down. HMMMMMMM.....

HMMMMMMM.....Monster,There has been a wealth of information here but so far no one has delved into your follow through. Immediately after you have fired a shot, where do the cross hairs sit on the target?A variation there can be the source of your problem.Another problem is how your finger puts pressure on the trigger. If you have the slightest sideways pressure then the rifle will kick away from that pressure and throw the shot . Remember the pellet is slow to travel up the spout compared to a 22LR or anything bigger.Get the trigger absolutely centered on the first digit of your shooting finger and be aware of pulling straight rearwards The recoil position of the cross hairs will tell you if your pull is cosistent.It is very important on where you rest the forestock on the forward bag. Using the Artillery hold pretty well ensures that by feel you always get the same spot. The bags are different .The piston has weight and it suddenly starts off , on discharge, from the rear of the bag and then slams forward towards the front of the bag passing over the balance point. This switch in the center of gravity from rear to front can throw you off.If you use bags then let the stock forearm rest in always the same position and anchor the butt of the stock in the rear bag. Adjust the elevation of the rear bag by squeezing it with your other hand.Several centerpoint scopes I have used had micro wobble to the ocular adjust ring. If I gripped the rifle in a gun vise I could "wobble" the cross hairs over the target. Once you have adjusted the scope to focus it for your eye condition, wrap some masking tape around the ocular ring to hold it immovable and test again.Jim

I could care less about shooting little dots with it....thats what I have a 6.5x284 for. So I practice and group the way I will in the field which means my hands resting on the bags not the gun. I have about 200 rounds through it now and still inconsistent groups. Shoots 4 tight then the group moves an inch...up and down only. Also, removing the shrowd might take a little heat from a hair dryer to break the loctite. In the meantime I have taken down a few more pigeons, about 10 sparrows, and a rabbit. But every 10 shots I re-sight in
This is where shooting those little dots, should be considered, instead of looked down on.It will help you to understand the problem, if it is your hold (hand placement/follow through), if it is indeed the lockup, or the scope.For the lock up, make a mental note to use the same force when closing the barrel, a good firm snap shut.With the stock marked for hand placement, the lockup, being consiously considered each time you close the barrel,follow through observed and breathing monitored. you will be left with one possible problem ,if it continues, the scope.
