   I know this is probably a ridiculous thing to suggest and ask, but, you are using the 'artillery hold' with the rifle?
   It took me a while to adjust to it, but the gun actually does shoot better than a normal 'rifle hold'.

	Hey guys still not shooting right unfortunately i feel like the scope is good now and i have put more shims in to the breech to make it even tighter, done some pellet testing on the barrel and its really tight at the breech end, where its been pressed in to the block 3 areas are worse than the rest one is from the barrel being bent so i am trying to lap the bore now has anyone got some ideas on what i could use for cutting compound i have auto soul but i would think i would need something with abit more grip in it ? cheers Edited by Excort - 28 Mar 2021 at 3:20pm

	Hey guys just a update fully taken the scope apart as i could not tighten the front lens without completely removing it the scope is a Hatsan scope i feel like they made up for there average tolerances with a heap of glue on almost all the threads everything had rattled loose so i put grub screws in the rear lens to stop that moving lock tight just was not enough front lens has been removed and lock tighted prettymuch everywhere i could so that should be good now and i also to two brass rods in under the spring that sits under the turrets as it was just sitting there and no doubt it would be working its way around with the recoil really hopeing for some good results but if not i at least had to try will test it over the weekend and see what happens hopefully post some decent groups :)

	Hey guys just a update followed Billbobnz's advise and put some shims in the breech it was really loose so thats helped also noticed both front lens and rear lens on the scope are loose fixed the rear by putting some grub screws in there not going anywhere now but the front one i just carnt get the rings to turn to tighten up will the front lens be affecting my point of impact ?

	Another thing to check is the breech, is it tight? My .25cal got very sloppy so had to fix it with some shim stock to take all the movement out. Since then it's been perfectly accurate. Check all the stock bolts for tightness too

	Yeah in hindsight i would of gone for the .25 for pellet selection i would of easy put 500 plus pellets through my gun sometimes it shoots good sometimes it does not when i clean it it will shoot good for awhile i have read this is a common problem with big bore air rifles normally from a poor finish in the bore which results in lead fowling so i might try polishing the bore some more and see how it goes at the end of the day i dont have anything to loose in the state it is if in doubt ill get a new barrel eventually
