Discovery 22 Accuracy

[scottinharwood]

All:

Finally got my Leapers 3x9-50 Mil-Dot scope in the mail and changed out the broken RWS scope for it.  Zeroed it from about 8m then again at 13m (inside basement, late at night).  Then shot a five string series starting at about 1700 lbs.  This is what I got 0.375 ctc, would have been 0.25 ctc but I had a small flyer.  I had front and rear sand bags for support.  I did  the Lower Link mod on the trigger mechanism a week ago and this really helps the accuracy since I do not have to pull so hard against my thumb behind the trigger now.

I highly recommend the low link mod (drill new 1/8" pivot point hole, 1/4" further out on the lower link) as mentioned in other posts on this forum.

If you have not used the Chairgun software, I highly recommend it too.

See pic if I can figure out how to post it.

Wow, that's some good shooting!!!

[scottinharwood]

Thanks, now I have to put a level on the scope rails, put a 4ft level at 35 yards, then level the scope.  I noticed yesterday that I have some kant issus and my groups at 35 yards are only 0.75" ctc.  

Anyone know if the Benjamin Discovery has a choked barrel?

If not, who can choke it for me?

Do your self a favor and do one thing at a time . Get the chant out of the way first . I dough you have a barrel problem at this point . You have not cut the end off as of yet . Also you did not mention how long of a shoot count the 3/4 group was . Pay attention to your fill pressure and sweet spot and shoot count . Marvin

Thanks Marvin, it was a 5-shot string, my standard for testing.

As of yet I have not Chrony'd my shots, I will be doing that.

The crown, on 3x magnifier looks OK, but this is the first I have looked at in detail.  Seems uniform width all the way around.

I think next will be a Super Sear to see if I can get the trigger pull even lighter.

But, as you say, one step at a time.

Thanks Marv.

My wife and I are back from Washington State, we saw Mt Rainier, The Beehive and Levenworth over a long weekend visit - worth going to if you get the chance.

I will probably be starting to work on the Discovery tomorrow to see what happens.

Hey TinBender, see the Discovery 0.22 Tuning Thread I created after this one for the tune results - I think everything workied out pretty well for me.

[tinbender]

Yes Scott I did:)

Glad it went well sincerely. Did not know someone could post in some elses name. Learn something new every day. As a busted up old tinbender I would never have thought to do that.

To the person that has the savy to use my name " I bow at the ankles to you sir"

WoW you were in my neck of the woods.

[scottinharwood]

Great place to live!
And go figure, Seatle was sunny and warm the whole time!

I just bought one although it has'nt arrived yet. What do you think about it. Do you like it or regrett the purchase?
Thanks.  PS were under about 12" of snow right now:)

[scottinharwood]

Great for the price.  I like it a lot.  You can lower the fill pressure and up the number of shots over a narrow pis-range if you tune it a bit ala. the BAM B-51 tune tips on the yellow forum.

Hey guys pardon the question but I'm a new guy to the adult airgun sport. I just orderd a Leapers 3x9-50 Mil-Dot scope  for by rifle and forgot the mounts. Which ones shoud I get?
