first it takes about 400 rounds to break in second have you cleaned the barrel? third is the stock mounting screws and scope screws tight ? all have a major factor in accuracy . and the wind dont help either. but do clean the barrel and check all screws as springers have a habit of loosening up i use blue locktite on the screws to keep them tight . only blue the other colors set up harder and if you have to take any screws out its not a nice job. i have a benji titan in .22 and the screws work loose so it got blue locktite and i can gruop with it now

well it has had 800 to 900 rounds fire and all screws are tight and yes the barrel is clean.

try it when the wind settles down . have you tried changing you way of holding it ? some shoot better from a tight artillery hold some from a loose hold

I do think that what it is I just don't like the 43in length on that gun and don't like the stock.

took it back to the store they said they have three more in the back room that are bad

here what my nitro venom .177 with do at 100 feet and this was a bad day

check the barrel pivot bolt/screw...like was suggested above...loctite blue.
my NP Trail shoots every screw loose FAST if not loctited...

well take it back to the store and said they 3 or 4 in the back room all bad.

The stock on those ones suck, the wood is much better

Are you using an artillery hold?

Can you see the end of the barrell it may need to be recrowned. Lots of airrifles come with bad crowns, mine did.My bore was off center in the barrel but the factory machined the crown centered. When I fixed it there was a difference in accuracy. Also have you tried many different types of pellets, a lot of guns are picky. Also for 30 plus yds your not doing too bad, what position were you shooting from.

i made bushings and installed them in my all weather stock so they could be torqued evenly and applied loctite blue and as i said above, i loctite blued the barrel pivot screw.

i aslo checked the crown and beveled the chamber. it was so sharp it would shave lead when loading pellets.

i'm finding it to be very pellet finicky! JSB select heavies seem to shoot fairly accurate at 55 yards. (1.5" groups)

one thing i did (last nite) was to bore the hex hole out in the muzzlecap into a 5/16" ROUND hole. i have yet to finish testing the results of that.
