    Sighting in a break barrel

    I have read an interesting way to sight in your gun and it worked reasonably well for me. Set your gun on a stable platform after cocking and loading it. I have a Gamo springer and used sand bags here. I took a shot with the sight at the bulls eye. After hitting the target but moving the gun as...

A slightly less powerful piston, but pretty accurate out to 40 yards if you sight it well. The Magnum cocking force is around 50 lbs, but...
