| why not give the irons a try and see if the problem disappears |
Thanks for the advise SMP. I've since removed the scope on the RWS 350, and re-installed the factory iron sights. I've never shot this with the open sights until after a bad shot on a squirrel yesterday.
I cannot believe how accurate this gun is now! I now know that it wasn't me being a terrible shot, or that there was something wrong with the gun. It was definately the scope(s) that I had that was causing the inaccuracies. Now, I can get nickle and dime sized groups on paper @ 30 and 40 yards. The only problem is that my eye sight "ain't what it used to be", and its very hard to see a small target at distance. I guess now I'll have to wait until I've got a 20-25 yard shot before I pull the trigger on the next squirrel! |

Hey that's great news
So you'll have to save up some nickels for a top of the line Springer scope with AO

i just had a simular problem.i had just polishished the crown and was re-zero ing the gun.i had some decent groups.finally was hittting 10 ring when all of the sudden my shots started to drop almost an inch per shot.i felt the scope and it was tight BUT at closer inspection i noticed the rear mount had started to cant over out of line its moving out of square to the scope/gun line.im going to have to get better mounts than the ones the gun came with.these springers are really tough on scopes.im still in disbelieve because ive shot some really powerful centerfire rifles before and never experienced these type of problems. hope this helps.  |
