I think you have some misinformation on this. You should not hold the gun as tightly as possible. You should use the artillery hold when shooting a spring power plant airgun.

[ArcherAirguns]

Actually, the air rifle being shot in the video is a CO2-powered gun so it should be held tightly - as is shown. But, yes, of course, a spring air rifle needs to be held loosely with the Artillery Hold, the same basic sighting-in technique still applies.

I'd like to thank you for such a quick but very informative video, I'm interested in the QB guns you have, Specializing in QB only. Are the barrels made in England? And are they 12-groove? Do I just go to your web to order. I heard that you test every gun before shipping it out, That is really to be appreciated! OK, a question on scoping in. I have the leapers 8-32X56 to scope in at 25yards to start, but my zero will be 55yards. Will my poi change if I go from 32 to 20 power when done

[ArcherAirguns]

Barrels for the QB78 air rifles are made in China at the factory that makes the guns. As for the scope question, the point of impact should not change due to a change in scope magnification. However, it will change if you move from 25 yards to 55 yards range.

Will the point of impact change at say 50 yards or will I have to zero in my scope for that distance??

@nematoad1998 so just twist it the way it says it goes up?

[nematoad1998]

@Wuddlezzz I have a ruger airhawk too and i had this same trouble but what i did was turned it the other way and it started working



[Wuddlezzz]

I have a Ruger Airhawk and it came with a 4 by 32 scope and I have the up and down notch all the way down and it's still shotting high. Please help!!!

Co2 or spring?

@MrBBman98 Hello, when we used to zero our BSA Comet springer, we clamped it in foam rubber along its stock length in a Black and Decker Workmate portable workbench. If you mount it forwards you can still break the barrel for a reload. Hope this helps
