Jonjon79 13,357 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Don't give up on it just yet mate - it could be a cheap simple fix, fingers crossed To make and sell a rifle at that price and still make a profit, they may have just cut some silly corners ...... The bolt could be stiff due to some rough edges in the housing - maybe it just needs a bit of attention with a small file. The power might come up a little with some quality grease on the hammer spring and, a little bit of preload. The accuracy could be down to the finish on either end of the barrel or, inside the barrel. ..... it might be worth pushing a pellet through with a rod to see if there's any loose, tight or rough areas. The bore may just need a polish. ..... Just a couple of things I thought of from reading your posts. Either way, hope you get it sorted mate 1 Quote Link to post

Gamegetter 128 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 On my kral breaker bullpup , had similar results a good strip down and polish and have a look at the crown on the barrel I re-faced it and then the group's tightened right up and was very accurate taking a lot of quarry at 50 yards plus ☺ Mike ☺ 1 Quote Link to post
Rabid 1,936 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Sorry to hear this jimmy, it's a stunner alright, but like most beautiful things they can be temperamental, some good Fettling could bring that back round, and vis is the man for the job. Could be worse, I just shelled a grand on a rifle that's got better spread than a 12 bore ! 1 Quote Link to post

I just read about your Wolverine on one of the other channels Rob - they're a nice rifle, hope you get it sorted mate tell ye what, it's been doing my nut in, but am persisting with it because it's such a nice looking and handling rifle, just need to get it grouping and I'm on a winner.

charlie caller 3,654 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Rabid, if you have not already, check the crown mate, I have known air rifles, rimfires, and fullbore all affected by a poor crown, a mates .22-250 grouped like a shotgun at 50 yards, a re-crown and it now groups under an inch at 250yards. 1 Quote Link to post
