Sighting in the scope is harder then I thought. I believe I have a 4'X4' piece of styrofoam that I can put up because I'm certainly not hitting the target. A little fustration on that part but with a bigger target, I'm hoping to see where it is traveling. _________________ I couldn't figure out why the ball was getting bigger, then it hit me.   Posted: Fri Apr 30, 2010 4:19 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Do your initial sighting in at 10 yards.... that will put you on the paper at longer ranges....

Past 20y it seems to follow a normal ballistic trajectory and is easier to adjust for distance. _________________ Philip RWS 350 .22 w/Leapers 4-16x50 Crossman 1377   Posted: Sat May 01, 2010 12:02 pm LMR Member Joined: 29 Mar 2010 Posts: 37 Well we had some fun today. I am not one to take myself to seriously and when I do a mistake, not beat myself up. I was having problems with sighting the scope in and decided to go ahead with erecting a large cardboard with the target mounted on it. I would adjust it and fire a few pellets to see where the pattern was going. It took me awhile to decide perhaps it was a good idea to rotate the scope 90*. Funny how much better it works now. Starting to chew the bulls eye out of the target at 30yds. I did not like the position of the scope and moved it forward as much as possible. Is there a place where I can get a spacer for between the stock and butt? _________________ I couldn't figure out why the ball was getting bigger, then it hit me.   Posted: Sat May 01, 2010 1:16 pm Mark5043 Silver Status Member Joined: 12 Apr 2009 Posts: 1379 LMR wrote: It took me awhile to decide perhaps it was a good idea to rotate the scope 90*. Funny how much better it works now. I've done the same thing.... If you don't know already here's a way to sight in quickly....put your cross hairs on the bulls eye....secure the gun so it doesn't move....fire a shot....note POI...without moving the gun,adjust so your cross hairs are on the hole from your first shot....shoot at the bulls eye again,and you should be REAL close...a click or two for fine tuning,and you should be dead nuts on........   Posted: Sun May 02, 2010 3:09 pm LMR Member Joined: 29 Mar 2010 Posts: 37 Where my fun is Trying to work on my breathing and trigger pull. _________________ I couldn't figure out why the ball was getting bigger, then it hit me.   Posted: Sun May 02, 2010 4:21 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Move the target closer to work on your hold, that's a lot harder than breathing and trigger control with a springer. Nice range, any how. Let's see pics of the gun. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

What exactly do you want to shim? _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

If I don't, then the view is all blurry around the perimeter of the scope. _________________ I couldn't figure out why the ball was getting bigger, then it hit me.   Posted: Sun May 02, 2010 5:45 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Should be able to make a shim out of some thin wood and stain it. Can also get LOP shims from any gun shop, or online store. Could also move the scope forward in the mounts, if possible. I would only do so if you can't find a suitable shim combination. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

The Feurkraft model comes w/o checkering ( http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Diana_RWS_350_Feuerkraft/1541 ) LMR - I think you'll love the RWS 350. I have been enjoying mine, and Umarex (USA distributor) stands by the warranty if you have issues. _________________ Philip RWS 350 .22 w/Leapers 4-16x50 Crossman 1377   Posted: Sun May 02, 2010 8:17 pm donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area LMR wrote: I still want to find a shim for the end of the stock.
