June 3rd & 4th Boinger Bash --- Event and Payment Details

[NewPaul]

Yep, given that prognosis, Pauly, I reckon the scope shouod most certainly be under scrutiny.

Also (and I have bugger all first-hand experience with PCPs and trouble-shooting), I wonder if the barrel band may also be at fault?

Done that Tone. When Chris was here the other weekend he suggested that, so we released the barrell band and re-settled it. Most of today's shooting was perfect so assumed we'd cracked it and then after stopping shooting for an hour, went back to the rifle and got the 'shift' again. The week before it was just doing the same but holding horizontal and going 2" consistently left If I re-zero, the cycle starts again. The lads at the range are a similar bunch to The Bashees so I did wonder if there was a turret twiddler amongst us but no, messing aside, it wasn't that, they were all a bit stumped.

It could be the nut behind the trigger.

Grit in your scope?

It's probably the scope, like you say. Confirm with trying a different scope.

Otherwise, I'd be looking at the barrel band again. It needs to be tightened just enough to avoid shifting. Confirm by trying to twist the bugger with moderate finger & thumb pressure.

Tis a common thing with the S400 series. The barrel can get twisted a few mm off center just by removing or fitting the sound mod'.

I think that's partly why Tinbum doesn't like them.

Next step is trying a 'known to work' scope. Chris did sort out the barrel band. Can I/should I remove or modify the barrel band to free float it ?

Nah, no way. Not unless you're going shooting somewhere without gravity.

I have been offered a Clangers permission so that may just work out It's frustrating Phil, I just want to get out and use it in the field but can't quite trust it fully yet. I'll give the barrel band another release and twiddle, change the scope and see how I go. If that don't work at least we'll have a bit of wood to get The Quigley fire going and Tinners can have the left-over metal bits

First the 90 now the 410, what the hell are you doing with them mate ? seriously Paul, I've never had a bad 400/410 yet were accuracy is concerned. I trust you will be bringing it to the bash ?

[TonyL]

Little Pauly will have it sorted, no worries.

[TonyL]

Oh yes indeedy, it's very nearly nearlier nearly here, folks.

Just 14 sleeps to go - and one or two less for some even luckier peeps.

C'mon peeps, if you can come, get yourself on the list and I can guarantee you a fantastic, fun, informative, friendly, relaxing day or weekend amongst the very finest like-minded people one could wish to meet.

I'm buzzing like mad just with the thought that in two Saturday's time I'll be en-route to Quigley Hollow to be with my fine fellow boingerers.

Can't wait, peeps.....here it comes.......!!



BOING!!!!!!!

I know mate. I'm pretty convinced it's the scope and not the rifle. I don't normally bring a PCP to The Bash but I might do if I haven't sorted it by then.

Looking forward to joining the HW45 shoot. Also bringing my new Baikal Makarov. Better for the rugged realism of the action than accuracy; but, great fun with a satisfying 'blam' when fired.

Now wearing boxing gloves to stop myself ordering a shoulder holster.

Currants are too soft, but I'm asking Timbum to make me a frozen pea sizer. The CO2 charge does help maintain the pea's hardness. Last night I shot a fish supper.
