RSVNelly 518 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I went to the indoor range tonight with the new guns. The Rapid and the Logan seem to shooting okay however they just aren't zeroing or holding zero very well at all. I think both scopes have seen better days. I don't even know what is on the S16 as there isn't a make on it? I know I need to try different scopes on them before jumping to conclusions about problems. Does anyone have a decent scope without any issues going cheap and I mean cheap as it is literally to check these guns? Any advice would be great fellas. I know I haven't tried lots of different lead either but I don't think this is an issue at the moment as they are loading without any issues and not chewing any up. I've used AA Hunters and Exacts tonight Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 The man has a rapid and a Logan but none can hold zero... Might just be you Nel don't worry though mate... can't win um all On a serious note. Maybe borrow someone's for 10 minutes. You'll soon know. I assume by the can't hold zero comment you mean the shots are scattered? Or you zero and go back a day or so later and it's off? Quote Link to post

The Rapid isn't that bad but it's not grouping as well as I can shoot, not being big headed by the way. The Logan isn't grouping at all but I'm thinking it's the scope. The mounts are like nothing I've seen before and the scope is not good at all IMO Quote Link to post

Rez 4,957 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 May be stupid but not running over the UK limit? Great shout. Thought that myself. Happened to me before. Bort a rapid, me first one, twenty two... "Yeah yeah, great rifle... sweet as a nut" Me... "shoots great, legal and £650 yeah...?" Him... "yeah" Me... wet behind the ears. Get it home, won't really group. 25 FPE get rid. Lesson learnt. 3 Quote Link to post
RSVNelly 518 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 May be stupid but not running over the UK limit? I don't think so EH, the stock hasn't been altered at the rear so I'm thinking not. I actually thought it was a tad underpowered but that's just me. Jimmy normally keeps me straight with stuff like that and when he shot it he didn't say anything. 1 Quote Link to post

Out of the two the Rapid is grouping more consistent, however if I put it down pick it up again 20 minutes later it's slightly off again. That's why I'm thinking scope issue Quote Link to post
