Where Do I Begin??? Empty Where Do I Begin???

Post by Rubensavage 10/3/2024, 2:06 am

 Tomorrow my new gun arrives. Dealer mounted the scope and sighted it in at 22 yards. Where do you begin with a new gun? I was thinking of cleaning the barrel before the first shot. Then, getting used to the gun at 22 yards. Ultimately, I’ll need to resight to 40 yards. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Sorry Ruben, I have zero experience with air rifles.

Shoot, turn the knobs.

You can calculate it if you like. But ...

I've got 2 Weaver 24x scopes.  One is 1/8', the other 1/4. Neither actually adjust to that.

Actual test at 50 yds. 27' adjustment on each, should be 13.5".

1/4' scope: 11.5" (.213 MOA)

1/8' scope: 14.5" (.134 MOA)

I tried coming up with some correlation of the screw pitch on the adjusters, and nothing made sense.

What game are you playing that you need it sighted to 40 yards?
