Info wanted on Steyr hunting scout 5a

[tinbum]

my friend has bought one of the auto 5 full length -- its rubbish -- cannot get a group out of it -it shoots all over the place no 2 pellets the same and that's bench rested at 20 m and yes he is a good shot he just won a bench rest comp and rated 6 th in the midlands he is trying diferent pellets at the moment -- he has a problem with the air cylinder coming loose to the rifle is not even a week old yet

Has he fitted the barrel to the mag? If not that will be the problem. It should be in big, bold letters on the front of the case imo. Go to the Steyr website and watch the set up video, within minutes it will be sorted.

or put another way:

I bought a Range Rover Sport. I was disgusted to find I had to move the seat so I could reach the pedals and steering wheel.

I should have stuck with my Dacia Sandero!

the instructions say it was tested at the factory even included the test target so it should not need setting up

but if you found the motor in the back seat and had to fit it yourself that would be different
