My Titan continues to shoot high and to the right with my Tasco Golden Antler. I questioned whether it was the gun or the scope. But after mounting the scope to a old B3, the scope shot fine. I then tried a new mount on the Titan, a Leapers Accushot 1 pc with the Tasco scope - it still shot high and to the right. I then tried a new scope, a Leapers 3-9x40 (maxed out the windage and elevation),with the Leapers mount and the Titan still shot high and to the right. So I have come to the conclusion that it's the Titan. What would make a rifle start shooting about 2" high and 1" to the right? All help appreciated! Thanks!! Terry

I think If you have the right mount for your gun (some need a droop mount) then the mount rails are not true with your barrel may be a manufacture fault! ! Sounds like you need to shim your scope if its maxed out.... there is shim guide in the gta library I think I saw. I have not needed to shim before and hope its and easy fix. Lets know how it goes.

check your forearm mounting bolts....

Thanks - that was the cause. When I got the gun back from the guy, it was rusty so I took out the action to clean it. When I put it back in the stock, I tightened the stock bolts as tight as I could. A few minutes ago as I untightened them and shot, the gun starting coming back to center. Now the forearm bolts are barely tight and it's shooting alot better. Also I tried 3 other types of pellets, and found that it now likes something different than what I used to shoot in it. Again thank you! Terry

One question...are you right or left handed? From what I've discovered, right handed shooters who's "cheek weld" position puts too much pressure on the stock will pull the shot high left....your grip on the "pistol" section will pull the gun to the right if not held loosely enough (exact opposite for lefties) Danged 'ol springers are finicky pieces of machinery some times....check these first, it might not be the gun at all ( I keep a check card from the old days in front of me to remind me of correct shooting procedure and follow through)
