My 220 has excellent accuracy. With or with out a scope. at 15 yards in my basement on a sand bag rest with my hand under the forarm stock one hole shots are possible. You get the occasional flyer but thats the pellet most of the time. I haven't found a springer yet that isn't hold sencitive. I find that having good breathing skills when shooting is very important also.
Give it some more time before you make any decisions about the guns performance.

Great groups. Was that with the scope? Also where are you placing your hand on the stock?

Yes that was with a scope. At 15 yards. I hold the forarm rested in my left hand with my thumb right below the stock screw. It all depends on where your arm lines up for a comfortable hold on your rifle as to where you need to be holding it. But you must hold it in the same place every time to have any accuracy with a springer.
