JABB Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Guys. Are there any good ranges in the cotswolds / north Oxfordshire where I could go and get my zero in? I am struggling a little. Went out last night and just could not get consistancy. Ideally I need a pro or someone who knows what they are doing just to rule out a bad scope, and rule in an impatient opperator!

ShootingEgg Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 When you try do you put the rifle into a rest and clamp it? Or are you just resting it? If you can clamp or make steady you should be able to take the first shot when aiming at the centre of your target, reallign to the centre then click the scope to match where to first shot hit. Once lined up to that take a shot at centre again. Repeat if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JABB Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Daystate Huntsman. I was prone with a tripod fixed to the sling mount. I was out at 30yds. Reading on line, and seeing the amount of movement on the gun and the amount at the target end, I was rather impressed. Been in touch with the Deddington Rifle club. Witney seems to be unavailable. The email bounces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDP Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Both Prescott Shooting and Ian Coley have great air rifle ranges and knowledgeable staff who should be able to help out. Give them a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 if its a daystate huntsman .22 or .177 use either jsb 15.89g in .22 or bisley long range golds in .177 and at 30yrds it should be pellet on pellet,,if its not then use it for knocking tent pegs in,,, but that wont happen as I guarantee it will be spot on with those pellets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) As stated by RDP there is now a 40 yard dedicated air rifle range at Ian Coley sporting. It's very good, I took my son there a while back. Edited April 20, 2015 by Thunderbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
