taff3915 2 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 give the time for the spring to bed in mate may settle, sometimes when a rifle goes over the legal limit it can have accuracy issues. fire some more pellets and see if it improves if it doesnt take it back mate. also you need to get a chrono and find out what its putting out, if the police spot check it and its over its your bad, not the guy who fitted the spring. rubbish i know but true.

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Sound advice from the above. If you want to make any rifle shoot worse, you add an Ox Spring. Looks like you're finding that out. Take it to a guns shop or put the original spring back in. Do it soon if your gun is running over 12ft/lbs and you haven't got your FAC. Quote Link to post
