Greetings all.
I just purchased an RWS 54 air rifle, .22 cal., with RWS 4 x 32 scope (came with the rifle), new, from MWUSA. I have been trying to sight it in, in my back yard, at 30 yards, using RWS 'superdome' pellets (14.5 grain). I have had mixed results. I have shot 1" groups, I have shot 4-5" groups. There appears to be no rhyme nor reason for the difference. It will be dead on, then not. I use the "artillery hold" grip. I have also tried a regular grip...seems to make little, if any difference. The scope mounts are tight, the bore is clean. The trigger is very nice (for any gun).
What should I expect at 30 yards? How can one tell if a scope is not holding zero?
Thanks much in advance.
