mk2pop Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi all, I'm having a little trouble with my Webley raider 10, this rifle is only 2 months old and the problem hasn't long started to show I've got a Nikko Sterling 4-12x50 and I can zero the rifle before I head out, stick the gun in the bag drive a few miles to one of my permissions (rifle on passenger seat, and nice and slowly) take the gun out of the bag, rabbit pops out Bang - miss, check zero and its shooting left and it seems to always be left only once did it shoot right. checked all mounts, loosened realigned and tightened I'm unsure now as to whether there is a problem with the gun or the scope Any help would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 If its a free floating barrel then if its laying on the barrel while travelling it could move it enough to affect zero. I use to own a parker hale dragon and if I lent it up against something on the silencer it would ruin the zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Check the barrel band near the silencer if your rifle has one, making sure it's all tight. Try another scope if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2pop Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 thanks guys, ive just taken another look at it and if I hold the front of the barrel and rotate it will rotate the barrel band and pull the barrel out of line, should the barrel band be tight so it cannot be turned or should it be loose so if it does turn it will return back to centre again?

FalconFN Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 It should be tight. I don't know the rifle but it will probably have a grub screw or two on the part that goes around the cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) As above the barrel band should be tight, there's also usually a rubber o ring in the band that holds the barrel, so make sure that is there.

amateur Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Also make sure that the sight clamps are firm on the sight and tight on the v-grooves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Do not mess with it-take it back and show the seller-its his responsibility-if you fiddle and it turns out to be more serious than a loose screw you could affect your warranty.

Taymotty Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I had this problem changed Scopes many times it ended up being a build up of lead in the silencer hitting the pellet as it passes through moving it off zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Do not mess with it-take it back and show the seller-its his responsibility-if you fiddle and it turns out to be more serious than a loose screw you could affect your warranty. now there is a man who speaks sense, as said, leave it alone , take it back the shop and let them sort it, faffing about with it yourself will only void your warranty as has been said, good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2pop Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) thanks for your help guys, I found the bolt holding the barrel at front to be slightly loose, so I loosened it off till the barrel centralised and retightened, zero'd and headed out for a target session and all is good, Returning it wasn't an option as I bought it second hand with no receipt (although cheap) and I'm guessing Webley wouldn't take it back without proof of purchase If anyone out there has any webley/ hatsan 10 shot magazines spare let me know I lost one when I was on my target session Thanks again guys Edited July 12, 2015 by mk2pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 mk2pop, if you are still after a magazine there is a member of the UK Hatsan Owners group on Facebook who makes them on a 3D printer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2pop Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 thanks for the heads up mole just requested to join, any idea on price? I found the genuine ones but a tad pricey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
