In all of my now decades of airgun shooting, I have not ever experienced the issue I have currently with one of my airguns.
A few weeks ago, I posted a comprehensive review of my recently acquired.22 Walther LGU Varmint. While this rifle is extremely accurate as indicated, about every day that I take it out of the vault, it will print almost exactly 2" lower than when I put it away the day before.
I am using Sports Optics fully adjustable mounts/rings with the stop pin installed. I use the ring adjustment to get it close, and then fine tune the Vortex Diamondback 6-24x50 FFP from there. It does not appear to have any horizontal movement, only vertical.
Within five to ten minutes, I will adjust it and have it shooting dead center, and then it will hold that way for many shots the rest of the day until I put it away. 24 hours later, it seems to be back to approximately the same spot, about 2" low.
I am storing it in a humidity controlled vault at +/- 65 degrees. It has a synthetic stock, though none of my other 7 rifles have ever indicated this trait.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, and Happy New Year!
