I have a Beeman RX2 in .20cal. Not to long ago I let out a bit too much air. I tapped the valve twice to let out some air and obviously it's speed/power reduced also. I rather it be pressurized to 22bar.
Okay, now here is my issue. I had a optically centered Simmons Pro Mag 6-21x (I believe) on it with a BKL one piece mount. Then I bent the barrel for the POI to hit about within a 1/2" of a target @ 25yds. The way I bent the barrel was with an eye hook and nut. It grouped nice and then it started to change POI from the same POA. I thought it was my hold so I concentrated and the POI was still changing...mostly vertical with just a little movement to the left, about a 1/2". So I changed the mounts to a UTG 2 piece mount. Same thing occurred. I sighted it in @ 25yds and then the next 5-10 shots my POI began moving again as it did with the 1 piece mount.
I got a replacement scope from Bushnell called the Engage 4-12x 40mm with the MOA reticle. Mounted it in the BKL 1 piece mount and then the UTG 2 piece mount onto the RX2 and the same situation happened as it did with the Simmons earlier. So that tells me its not the scope.
So I did the tissue test over the breach lock up area. Fired 3 shots w/o the tissue moving what so ever. I made sure that all screws on mounts and stock were tight. Same issue. Now from my experience w/springers there can only be 2 other things that can/are affecting my rifle. 1 is the piston seal and the 2nd thing could be the RAM. Do you, Mr. Slade, have an idea, opinion or answer to my dilemma? Oh yeah, when I cock it, the barrel stays where I leave it before returning it to battery. I tried to untighten it but man, whoever had it before me must of really cranked it down because I wasn't able to loosen it. And then I sheared off the screw head on the right side. And lastly, do you think it could of been my "tweaking" of the barrel?
1) I checked all screws
2) I concentrated and repeated my hold
3) I tried different scopes
4) I tried different mounts
5) I checked the breach via tissue test |

you might try torquing the mounts and scope rings with a torque wrench.
even torque can solve some problems. |
