When hunting I've always let my rifles, be they powder burners or air, acclimate to the temperature I'm hunting in before setting afield, and usually not out for more than 6 hours at a time. Today I tried using the HW30 on some HOSPs, but the POI was off after I had just sighted it in. After 10 or so shots it would start to group, but another break and again it would be off target. I've used this rifle all summer pesting HOSPs and never ran into this. Is this caused from leaving it in the garage 24/7 in sub freezing temps at night and then 30s to 40s in the day? Should i keep in the house and bring it out when needed?
Because of this, I brought out the Daystate Regal and set it up. I took a few shots and it was spot on, but will it be still be on after a cold night in the garage? Will keeping it and /or the HW in the garage for long periods in below freezing temps hurt the seals?
I brought the HW inside for the night and I'll try shooting it tomorrow and see if the 1st shot is on target.
