    Barrel droop with open sights?

    I think its the batch head size, the Baracuda was 5.50 and the FTT is 5.53

    Barrel droop with open sights?

    Thank you all for your input, I think the problem was pellet kind/weight. JSB doesn't exist where I live so I went and got a tin of H&N field target trophy and that fixed the low shots, maybe the gun didn't like the heavy 21.14 grains barracuda.

    Barrel droop with open sights?

    Can it mess with anything if it didn't have a barrel droop and I bend it? And what point should I bend? mid barrel or where the barrel and barrel block joins?

    How about a barrel bend? 😂

    Barrel droop with open sights?

    Exactly, if I remove the washers it shoots very low unless I crank it open loosely, which loosens the spring too much and risks losing the ball bearings and/or my elevation setting.

    Barrel droop with open sights?

    That's Diana's original front sight. I didn't change anything from the original. As you can see the distance between the tip of the needle and the bore is not more than an inch so the bullet shouldn't land 5 or 4 inches below if I'm shooting too close. If I remove the washers the spring gets...

    Barrel droop with open sights?

    The front sight is the original Diana sight, it looks odd because of the ugly electric tape I added. Yes, 13 or 14 yards and no it doesn't go lower and lower. I know that because when I hit the 200 yards can it hits around it never drops drastically. I think zeroing distance drop is when you...

    Barrel droop with open sights?

    I have a target (big tin) at 180-200 yards, I get more hits after I added those washers but I'd rather figure out what's wrong and fix it properly.

    Barrel droop with open sights?

    When I measure it with a level (not a digital one) comparing the barrel block to the barrel, I can't find any evidence of drooping. If anything, to the eye it looks like it trends up. Is there any other reason it would group perfectly, just about 5 inches low, at 10-15yds? I've tried several...

    Barrel droop with open sights?

    I have a Diana 350 N-tec. that likes to shoot low even with open sights, the gun is extremely accurate otherwise. I checked the barrel and it looks straight to me. I put washers to raise the back sight so the spring of the open sight stays tight. It's already heavy and I shoot freehand so I...
