I got a new Gamo Urban 22 a couple weeks ago and I think I finally have it dialed in.
The bore was full of crud and took a whole evening to get clean. I finished with a light coat of Renaissance wax and mounted a Hawke 4-12 X 50 AO.
For the first week I was busy experimenting with different pellets trying to find what it liked. Initial groups were a let down, but I figured it would take some number of pellets to get it loosened up. I ordered another assortment and kept shooting. After many rounds fired, I started getting pretty nice 25 yard groups with the FX 15.9 gr pellets . Air Arms 16 gr Diabolo Field also group nicely.
Oh yes...I have been washing and waxing all the pellets, because you folks said it helps. (My wife laughs and says I'm being punked!)
I realized this weekend, that the two 10-round magazines I have are more accurate if only loaded to with 5 pellets. (see pic)
Another interesting discovery today, was the JSB Jumbo 15.89 gr pellets that were rejected 2 weeks ago for lack of accuracy, are now the most accurate of all the pellets I've tried, at least at 25 yards or less.
I know the Urban 22 isn't in the same league with many of the guns you folks are running, but for this newcomer, it's perfect for my current needs.
