New 340 N-Tec

[MarkChambers]

Finally shot the rifle from the bench @ 40 yards sorting pellets. The best performer is still the 14 gr, 5.5 head FTT. 

There is a problem though and I need some advice. The barrel droop on this thing is terrible. I am almost maxed out on adjustment using the 14 grain stuff. (Nikon 3-9 EFR) When I tried the JSB 18 grain I didn't have enough adjustment left in the scope to zero it. I have the RWS one piece with droop comp but it's not enough. The 18gr drops off the target. I've been looking at adjustables--the Sportsmatch specifically and was wondering if any use them and if they offer more compensation? Also see that Hawk makes an insert--don't recall the MOA provided but the thought of using aluminum foil or plastic inserts horrifies me. Somebody has gotta make something right?

I beleive Sportsmatch, BKL, FX and Sun Optics to name a few all have some sort of adjustable mount to help with the droop issue.

I know they have them. I want to know if they offer greater compensation than the RWS droop mount.

Burris makes a set of rings with plastic inserts. I think they're the 'Signature' series. You can get different inserts to compensate for droop. I have used them on a PCP with some success, but haven't tried them on a springer. Although it sounds like sacrilege, another solution may be to bend the barrel. Do a search here, nced has done a lot of it and has posted here. Here's a link to my search-http://www.airgunnation.com/find/

I have a set of Burris rings that I've used on a Weatherby XXII. I wouldn't want to put them on a springer.
