After owning several Hm1000x's, I have found that no matter the caliber, I can't get consistent results from week to week shooting. I know that weather can do alot of change in the impact, especially changes in wind. Aside from all of that, I can choose to shoot in calm or no wind and replicate my shooting in those conditions, and still have huge change of impact from day to day. I figured out that all of my RAW barrels shoot way better in dirty. I cleaned after 200 rounds, and accuracy fell off huge. also notice that from 190 down to 150 bar is must. I love these rifles, but for the price you pay, there super fidgety to get dialed in and hold the type of groups i want at 50 and 100.
 
You need a good rifle rest at least a Caldwell lead sled $99 on sale at MidwayUSA and bubble level for $10 from Amazon.

Never ever clean the barrel unless accuracy suffers. You need to run 50-60 shots through it before you see accuracy improve from clean barrels. Some guns never need barrel cleaning ever.

Never shoot when there is any wind if you expect perfect groups as well. Perhaps overnight by candle light at the target between 12 midnight and 3am when there's no wind.

Choice of ammo plays a big part in accuracy too such as JSB and Air Arms brand 18.1gr and 25.34g in 22 and 25.39gr or 33.95gr in 25. If you aren't shooting these then there's your accuracy problem right there.

Certain most popular brands of airgun scopes may give you accuracy problems as well. Even when used on PCPs and May even cost more than $300-$500+ or more if they are made in China due to not too good QC. There are certain Brands and models of scopes I will never buy again based on what had failed on me even on PCPs and lots of bad problematic reviews from too many other people stating they had to always keep returning scopes to exchange for brand new ones under the lifetime warranty. I would never ever have to return a scope to exchange for new ones if Qoverall quality was good in the first place as everything you pay for should be. Especially costing more than $100-$200.

Equipment isn't an Issue, I don't have a scope on any of my firearms or Airguns that are under $700.00. I have benchrest setups, Bags ect. I have had better overall results with other Airgun brands, Im talking consistency. I only use NSA Slugs JSB pellets. I have tried over 20-30 different weights in .25 cal. My .22cal Hm1000x is not as picky nor does it have change of impact more than 1/8" every time I pull it out from week to week, usually being fairly dead on zero. My .25 loves NSA 26.8g slugs. It has shot less than 1/2@100y. Groups really isn't the issue. Its the up and down, or side to side shift im seeing. Starting to wonder if my barrel tention is an issue of sorts. No leaks either...
