Nedos, good grouping. Do you always maintain the target center at the same height (140-145 cm) and distance (10m) ? Does it consistently shoot low ? if so, then rear sight adjustments ought to take care of centering. My experience is that Indian screws travel opposite to the Germans - of course, the instruction booklet ought to explain that better. If going for (paper) target shooting go for flatheads with a pellet trap box - gsmith makes Amateur/ Competition/ P-10.

My FWB AP does not quite 'differentiate' between Amateur or the rest nor does my IHP N25.

If preparing for competitions, Magnum shot pellets might be a tad too fast (>1000fps) for accuracy. Plus a peep sight may be in order. Good Luck and Happy Shooting.

Rajveer, congratulations on your latest acquisition - Happy Shooting.

hi again ,
@rajveer the rifle is shooting better now after i added the following accessories
1) dovetail to weaver adapter (UTG)
2)Bushnell rim fire 3x9 scope
3)weaver quickrelease mounts .
pics:



hopefully will send updated groupings with the scope at 30-40 meters

@airgun novice , looked everywhere for a peep sight for the 350 mag , cant seem to find anything other than the medoza sight ,which apparently cant compensate for barrel droop .so settled for a scope for long range plinking .
i figure for target shooting its better to get something thats less heavy and with a lighter trigger pull and leave the 350 mag for causal fun.

also while zeroing the scope , figured out the best way to bench rest it , resting the rifle forearm on a doubly folded pillow , with the butt resting lightly on the shoulder seem to give consistent shots .

regards

Once you have zeroed the gun on a bench rest, then its time for off hand shooting. The gun has already proved its mettle, now its for the shooter to prove the same.
