Barney86 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hello, Does anyone know roughly what a service for an S410 would cost? (if there is such a thing?) and recommended people to do it? I've just bought a second hand S410 and I'm only managing 3" groupings at 25yds, as opposed to near perfection with my mates. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Bully Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) You should be grouping better than that, you could try checking the following: *Are scope mounts tight. *If it has a moderator try a few shots with it off. Failing that drop AA a call Edited February 6, 2012 by Easy Bully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.I.A Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 tryed different pellets? they can be quite fussy so you need to find the pellet that suits your gun best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney86 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks lads, I knew something wasn't right. I've tried different pellets, none of them were much good. The strange thing I found is that grouping will be consistent, then there will be a couple of fliers, but they'll always group closely together too :blink: Mounts are tight. I'll give it a go without the mod and see what happens. Otherwise I'll give them a call. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewj Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 as said above take the mod off, also what scope if the scope is jargoned that could cause it hope you get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Sounds like something is loose (barrel band?) Or your scope won't hold zero - it's not a Hawke sport HD by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarepeg Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Check your magazine indexing post, is it indexing 100 percent?, it will damage pellets when the bolt pushes them into your breach and give same type of grouping, just something else to look at. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerboy Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 If you get no luck trying to sort it mate go to Air Arms Owners Club and give Kev Todd a shout. He'll sort it for you if you get stuck. ATB Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney86 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Some good-ish news. I'm down to less than 1" at 30 good paces (35 yards or so). I basically took the scope and silencer off, then put them back on again & made sure everything was tight. I think I've found the reason for the point of zero suddenly jumping about for a while - as someone suggested it wasn't indexing properly. I've bent the little copper strip and it now indexes correctly most of the time. I can't seem to get it to index correctly all of the time by bending the copper strip alone. The magazine probably doesn't help as it only indexes/clicks into the next round when it is very close to the correct point. I'll get another chance to test it next weekend & see how well the coper bending has worked. @Falcon - Hawke MAP Pro. What sort of accuracy do most people manage with these bits of kit? I was expecting to get the pellet through the same hole each shot! Cheers for the advice everyone. I'm a bit happier with my purchase now!
