Guys,

I've just rebuilt and restored an old springer and was trying it out today (albeit with a cheap crappy scope).

Couldn't hit the proverbial 'coo on the ar$e with a banjo' so took the scope off and aimed down the barrel and got reasonable groups. Pinned a MASSIVE sheet of paper to the wall and fired another bunch of shots with the scope back on. It's firing about a foot low over 20 ft and can't adjust it out with the scope. I'm probably missing the bleedin' obvious, but with fixed mounts, all I could do would be to shim the back mount (???) (I think). But this would possibly deform the tube, would it not ? Only other thing I could think of was buying adjustable mounts.

Just realised today, I've owned guns for almost 25 years and never mounted a scope before !!!!!!

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Ally.
