My grandson got a Benjamin Summit .177 air rifle this past spring and him and his dad were shooting it in the basement and was getting horrible groups. I looked it over today and found the scope rings were not tight to the picatinny rail mount. I was thinking of pulling the scope anyway and when I did I heard a rattle in it. I'm think the loose rings beat the heck out of the scope. So we mounted the Gamo that came with mine since I opted for a Hammers 3-9x40AO as soon as I got mine.
We were shooting the regular Crossman 10.5 grain .177 pellets and they were all over the place at 10 yards in the basement. I know I had to really move the turrets but after tapping on them, I'd get 2 shots fairly close and then a flyer 6" away. I was shooting with 2 bags off the bar counter and I know I was getting great trigger pulls - although that 2 stage trigger sucks imo.
I saw some of the pellets were a bit deformed at the rear so I didn't use them. I have a Gamo Tac and I think I can keep everything inside a nickel at 10 yards! There probably at least 150 shots thru it and 50 of them are mine from today. Just wonder if anyone has an idea on these flyers and if this is enough shots to "break it in"? His dad is going to contact Benjamin about it. Thanks.
