So Friday I pulled my scope and used the 'plumb bob, flashlight' method to make sure it was level. BTW, that worked great!
Since the scope had been removed & replaced, the rifle needed re-zeroing. I was able to get a rough zero w/3 pumps @ 30 feet (a group 3 inches out at 10:00), but I wanted to refine the zero at 5 pumps-and the Benji isn't exactly backyard friendly at higher pumps, so yesterday I went to mom's (she has some land) and got to work.
I shot 2, 5 round groups and was pretty much on at 5-pumps / 30 feet, and was going to shoot a 10 round group to confirm.
About halfway through the shooting, the 392's pumping effort went to nothing. I checked and when I fully extended the pump arm, there was no sucking hiss of air being pulled into the tube, so of course, with no air to compress, there was no effort to closing the handle.
I plan on sending it to Mac1 this week for a complete Steroid treatment, minus the scope mount and rings, so is this now a non-issue?
