I've been messing with my son's inexpensive Crosman break barrel and shot it at my home made "know your limits" targets today with disappointing results. I managed a couple 3/4 inch 5 shot groups at 25 yards with it testing pellets but the trigger pull is terrible and I was struggling with it today. I will probably put a "charlie the tuna" trigger in it for him.
But to convince myself I could still shoot OK I took my P35 in 25 caliber out of the coffee table and shot at the same targets at the same 25 yard distance. This rifle wears a PA FFP 4-14 scope that I really like. I had not shot this gun in several months. I was surprised to miss the 2 inch swinger until I started aiming 2 mil dots high. It was shooting really low. I had to adjust it up about 20 clicks to re-zero it. All the screws on the mount are tight. The windage was fine, needed no adjustment.
Do all scopes do this occasionally? I noticed my West Hunter 4-16 did it once but have not noticed any of my other scopes displaying this bad behavior. Humidity is lower as is temperature from the last time I shot this gun but I wouldn't think that would change the zero of the scope.
