    Blackbriar is replacing the scope packing with plastic from a Coke bottle, then centralising the scope, before re-installing it and starting again. Hope to go out tomorrow and fire over a more extended range. Will let you know the outcome.

    Enough already !!!!! End of thread I think as this has just descended into name-calling. Thanks guys.
  3. Blackbriar
    That's probably going too far!

    Thanks again Tim ! I think I've got that so I will replace the packing, make sure the scope is centralised, shoot a bit further away and take it from there. Also aware that I need to work on my position and hold etc.Will get back on here if no improvement but, for now, thanks for taking the time to time to help me with this. i was getting really bogged down in things that made no sense to me !! As for the rest of the pointless b******s ..........

    RSPCA have obviously never had their hens killed by a "terrified" fox ! Idiots !

    Gutless cowards, whoever they are. If it's any consolation, 50 years has taught me that what goes around comes around ! Good luck buddy !

    No worries- a bit of banter among the boys never did any harm ! I'm old enough to know the difference

    Tim, you are a gentleman, Sir. Thank you

    I wish I'd kept quiet now ! Tim, the rifle is .22 and the measurement you wanted is 3.5cm, as best I can measure it BUT I have a small amount of packing at the back of the scope. As it is aluminium, I think we've established it should be removed !!!! Should I leave the packing out for now and start again from scratch over a longer range????

    Welcome young man! As a fellow newbie (quite a bit older than you,though!) I hope you get as much out of this as I already have. Good luck and happy hunting !!!

    Shooting from supported kneel, but I'm coming round to the idea that it's time to shoot a bit further ! Incidentally, I have'nt made too much adjustment to the scope, just seemed to be striking consistently low. For the umpteenth time, thanks for replying, fellas, I'm very grateful.
  14. Blackbriar
    Once again, many thanks Guys. I have taken Tim's advice to heart, and hopefully the problem will decrease as my range extends. Thanks again to all.

    Thank you Timmytree. That has beautifully explained something I was finding quite technical !!!!
  16. Blackbriar
    No worries and welcome friend !

    Come on, Rake aboot - don't sit on the fence. If you have an opinion out with it!!!!!!!
  18. Blackbriar
    thanks very much. I'll swap the mounts around tomorrow, but it's a brand new rifle so early days I guess. I'll persevere and bear all your advice in mind. Thanks to all for taking the time to reply !
  19. Blackbriar
    Thanks for that, fellas ! If anyone else has any thoughts I'd be glad to try them.

    As a novice shooter, I hope I'm not just being incredibly thick here, but here goes..... My Stoeger X20S and I have only fired around 150 pellets, but I've noticed that it seems to fire consistently low. They tell me this is called "barrel droop". I have packed the back end of the scope up, and this has helped a bit. As I'm only firing at around 12-15 yards at the moment (beginner remember! ) I'm worried that I'll run out of elevation at longer ranges, as the adjuster is already almost 1/2 way round. Maybe it's me and not the rifle, but any tips or advice would be massively appreciated.
  21. Blackbriar
    Thank you, gentlemen. I already have a couple of queries about the Stoeger, so I'll look for the appropriate forum
  22. Blackbriar
    Hello everyone ! I join you as an absolute novice, having recently purchased a Stoeger X20S. As a beginner, I didn't want to spend a fortune but I hope my knowledge and experience will soon match my interest and entheusiasm. Looking forward to getting to know you all better !!
