Today I was testing a few pellets from my Compatto 22 to see what it was going to like. I was very surprised and very very disappointed it wouldn't group with anything? At 25 yards groups were over an inch! I ended up rotating the shroud and moderator 90* when I done that it shot 6 inches lower and 2 inches right....but it was grouping! Not sure what was going on. I didn't see any signs of clipping but something was going on..
Compatto POI change.. interesting and confusing.

Just some opining. clean the barrel, find the grub screws for the barrel loosen them up reset your Barrel make sure it's straight. retighten the grub screws. just simple stuff like that
DID YOU CHRONY?

Don't forget to eliminate the scope as the potential problem. I've seen loose mounts, to "broke" scopes cause the same issues. good luck, let us know what you come up with as the cause.

later today after it mysteriously started to group after rotating the shroud I pulled the barrel inspected the o rings...cleaned it
(It was cleaned before it shipped but it didn't hurt to do it again) and reassembled.
It got dark out so tomorrow I will check to see it it's still grouping or if it's grouping and the POI changed again. Hopefully it still groups good and no POI change.

Had a similar yet different situation with my Bantam. Wouldn’t group at all. Decided to take the power down one click on the adjuster and like magic I was shooting one groups at 20 yards. Stretched it out to 50 today and still had excellent groups when the wind stopped. I’m very pleased to say the least.

That is a weird problem. Have you had the chance to chrono a string yet and see what is happening there? Any idea what speed it shooting?

Ok guys I believe it had to be some kind of clipping issue..I ran some shots through the chrony. The power is there.
before it hated 14.3gr CP now it groups pretty good with them. Not it's favorite though. The JSB of any flavor it likes real well. .now I'm a happy camper.

I had a similar problem - it turned out to be the air stripper. It bent after an unfortunate fall (aka stupid mistake on my part) - the air stripper is very, very weak and can't be bent back (trust me on this one). Take off your outer shroud to see if it is bent. Since the shroud does not do much, I replaced the stripper with a larger (#31) oring from Lowes. Centers the barrel nicely and no effect on the sound due to the Hugget. Trenier Outdoors may be able to get a replacement - I will be checking with them. I would make my own, but no lathe and the threads size is funky.
