    I hate to state the obvious but you do realise that a pellet wont necessarily go through the exact same hole every time. I'm not familiar with your rifle but what kind of grouping are you getting. Do you fire off 3-5 shots and zero to the centre of that group or are you shooting once and zeroing to that then wonering wgy the next shot hist a different spot (i know a lad who did that)
    Where you based?

    Hi,
    Yes I have started 4 or 5 times. Yes I understand that the pellet wont go throught the same whole every time. Im shooting 4 shots. Then zeroing it in. Then when I shoot again its way off??

    You sound like you know what you are at, and know how to zero your rifle so i won't insult you by describing what to do.

    I would say that if you are doing everything right, but you cannot maintain your zero i would be seriously looking at the scope.

    What method are you using to zero just to see if my way would be the same.

    if its a springer air rifle make sure the scope mounts are good and tight, just incase the kick is knocking it around a bit. hope you get sorted theres nothing more annoying. :o

    May not be the scope it may well be the the break barrell needs ajustment it probley is a little lose,pointing different for each shot, id the same prob with a AirArms, you will need maybe to take the stock off, there will be probley if like the airarm a star type bolt with a retainer holding its position remove the retainer and move the star clockwise to the next position this should tightin the break barrell and stop it waving about. worth a look before you buy a new scope.
