What to do with a rifle that has a shotgun pattern at 10 meters?

[Antoni]

This breakbarrel has caused me a lot of worry. First I couldn’t break it down because it was stuck and magically it worked the next day, then it had a power curve down, and now it’s shooting like birdshot at 10 yards. I was freestanding, and I just thought it was me. Then, out of curiosity, I did 5 shots from a bench-resting position and I get the same results. I was using the fiber optic sights, and I was getting sub 3/4” groups a month ago with the pellets I was using today. I didn’t use the rifle for a week because I could not, and now I take it out and i don’t know what to think.

Would need lots more information to venture a guess. Specifically what rifle, scoped now or still FO sights, what changed to allow action to no longer be "stuck".

This is the wonder of this gun. I just went out again and hit a skinny bottle (at the center of the bottle) at 30 meter free standing first shot after sighting the FO sights back in. Maybe that why..? I don’t know

Could be the gun only likes to be shot on Sunday. Try it again on Monday and see if it likes it. With the info given that all I got.

If you have a suppressor on, remove it and try again. Sometimes you can knocked the suppresoor out of alignment when your airgun hits something hard.

Throw it in the trash.

I was informed this is a teen age young man asking the question

but if he is young or old he has to give us information about all he has, before we can help in anyway an incomplete thread by a poster is a dead end

Get rid of it! I got a Crosman nitro piston in 22 for squirrels and it was so bad I gave it away to some kids
