Need help in zeroing my Achilles

Post by Abhilashdsar » Wed Jan 09, 2019 10:37 am

Hello everyone,
I didn't used any scope till day, so I need your help to adjust the scope, sorry for my basic quarries.
I need suggestions --- at what angle, distance required to zeroing a gun of 850 fps (pricihole Achilles)for best results.
---- Confused by how we know to hold over and hold under a scope.

1)Seat the gun on a rest at 10 m from a white paper. Ask someone to hold down the rifle firmly so that it doesn't move at all even after a shot.
2)Shoot a random shot. See where the pellet hit
3) Now without moving the rifle even a bit adjust the scope to focus exactly on the bullet hole.
4) If your rifle has not moved even a bit, then your zeroing is complete. If not, repeat again.

Download and study Chairgun App. You will know a lot of things about using a scope. There are many variable that one need to know when using a scope. Near zero,& far zero. And height of the scope, magnification being used etc. Once you understand you will enjoy long distance shooting. But to get accurate trajectory graphs you need to know the fps at which your gun is shooting with a particular pellet. For that you need a Chrony. You can also plot trajectories without a chrony. But it involves a lot of work and patience. Once you understand about trajectories then you can graduate to strelok app and you would love it. PM me if you want any directions.

Dear sir, first thanks for your guidance, I downloaded the app two times but failed.it need lot of inputs n calculation and need expertise,hence very difficult for a newbie like me. But I like the app and I will pm you to understand chairgun app if u welcomes.

Hello gentlemen

My name is Siddharth and I recently bought my first PCP, the PX100 Achilles. I did over a thousand shots in the last two weeks and every single one hit more or less where I wanted it to, give or take half inch.

Today when I started my daily shooting, the point of impact was 3-4 inches to the right of my aimpoint. I adjusted the windage by giving it clicks to the left and even after I ran out of clicks and left it at the point where it can't move anymore to the left. Even now it is still shooting an inch or two to the right. What can I do to zero my sights?

Thanks in advance.

You didn't happen to drop the gun did you? Same thing happened to me and it's then that I realized that the scope tube was ever so slightly bent to one side. This wasn't clearly visible to the naked eye. Turns out my maid dropped it while trying to pick it up from the couch :(

Easy and quick method is by laser bore sighter. I bought this kit from Ali express. Cost was approx rs 700 . It's very easy to use. I had Bushnell 4*20 , led flashlight and a laser sight attached to my Achilles. Its help me to shot in night.

I didn't drop it but I ended up solving the problem. The front sight wasn't aligned properly, my friends were looking at the rifle the previous day and must have messed with it.

Took me about 200 shots or so, trial and error to get it properly. I removed the front sight and slightly changed it's position and then reset the rear-sight. I still have to zero it properly but better than before.

Attaching the group I managed to get after doing it.

As you can see in the image, the sheet on the bottom has shots all over the place. That's how it was before I fixed it.
