Lewdan 17 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Been trying to set up my grandsons BSA lightening. Bolted on the scope but no matter how we adjusted it could not get it to zero , thaught it may be the scope so tried another but still had the same problem, tried different mounts and there was an improvement but scope was almost fully adjusted to the left we managed to get it shooting pretty good at 30 yds but closer and further shots wondered off zero. i think it could be that scope grooves are tot cut true to the bore what is the easiest way to get round this. Any help much appreciated. LD. ps two piece mounts are being used.. Quote Link to post
Marksman 934 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 How far was it out and on which way?? I don't know what shooting experience you have but it could be the way you are holding/shooting the rifle. A springer needs to be allowed to recoil. Most Lightnings I have heard or had experience of have a pretty harsh recoil straight out the box. As extreme as it seems a strip down, clean and relube could be worth a try. Check the stock screws arent loose & make sure the barrel/silencer is tight, also try swapping the front/rear mounts round and see if it improves. You might need to pack the mounts to get it on the button. But without any other info that's all I can suggest for now Darryl Quote Link to post
