kipper Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi, My mate has just purchased a Daystate huntsman combo brand new from a shop it came with a Hawk eclipse scope. He expected the set up to arrive ready zerod but when we tried it it was shooting low and right by alot. We zerod the scope in so that it was grouping well. He got the gun out the nexd day shot at a target and the rifle was shooting to the right agian by over a foot??? He has not banged or droped the gun. He has also noticed that there is some play between the barrel band and the shrouded barrel. Is this normal??? We have tried to rezero the scope and it seems to be on the max left adjustment but it is still shooting right.?? Any advice graitfully received.

amateur Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Gently tighten up the barrel band fitting and the scope mounts - but not so much that you strip the threads!!! I had the same problem with my XS78 when I first got it and resolved it by properly tightening everything up Edited November 27, 2008 by amateur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 He may have knocked it slightly,tighten up band and make sure the mounts are securely fitted.If still not happy then tell him to take it back.ATB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Also check that it is holding its' charge of air as if it is leaking when the pressure drops dramatically this can effect accuracy, probably on of the above though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipper Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thanks for your replies and advice chaps. He has been on the phone to Daystate this morning and the slight movement between the shrouded barrel and the barrel band is normal. He came up tonight and wound the windage out to its max = 400 clicks and then back in to 200 clicks = half way on the scope. so hopefully tomorrow we can start from scratch and get it zerod. Thanks again Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
