Sheridan Sights way off on Sheridan Blue Streak.

my guess, it is adjusted to the wrong side.

As set the rifle will be shooting extreme left

Congrats! That's a nice example. Post more photos, please.

Wow. That's a lot of adjustment! Have you examined the muzzle to see if something is off with it? I'd also look to make sure that there isn't any separation between the tube and barrel.

The rear site on that rifle was originally mounted about six inches forward of where it currently resides. That would have an effect on how much adjustment is needed.

Cheers,

I’ve experienced that a few times. get a Williams peep sight it’ll be fine

Holley Genius""ya might try pulling back the bolt and shine a strong lite in the breach barrel and put the rifle on a bench and put the sight back in the middle .Put a piece of paper about 3 -6ft. away and see where the lite beam is as to where the point of aim is?the lite beam should eather be up or down where you have sighted afraid its going to be left or right?

Remove the sight insert you've adjusted. Hold a straight edge, or a piece of string, on the top of the front sight and bring it back to the center of the breech and compare it to the centerline of the barrel. There's a good chance the barrel or barrel/pump tube is bent. If the barrel only is bent it either left the factory like that or it separated from the tube and the solder/epoxy repair was bad.

Poor trigger control.
You are pulling the trigger to the right.

Something is seriously off there. With the sight that far to the left your shots should also be hitting far to the left. That they're not indicates to me that the barrel may be bent. If it were poor trigger control or a bad crown then you would usually also have very poor accuracy and large groups.

I would try holding a straight edge along the barrel and see if you can detect a bend in it anywhere.

Something is bent. You can see in the photos the forend is offset to the right from the fixed stock.

It looks about right to me ..

No adjustment seems necessary

I would have a look down the barrel, with a light in the breach, cocked, bolt open, no air , the view should be concentric all the way. Any bends will be easy to see.

Next, I would shoot some groups to confirm the barrel accuracy, irregardless of poi. Is it accurate?

Next, I would remove the sights anyway. They have been known to damage the barrel to compression tube solder joint. If you want to keep them, move them to the factory position.

That would also reduce the offset needed to correct for the right poi problem but I doubt that be enough.
You need the area just ahead of the breach for a proper grasp during pumping, so try to keep any sights out of that area.

Amazon has Sheridan intermounts for mounting optics, as well as inexpensive red dots. You could probably get both for $60 or so. Here is that sight setup on an H9A pistol.

I'm interested, so keep us informed.

A guy in Hawaii (eBay) is selling replacement clamp on sights for the Sheridan and Crosman pumpers for those of us who have removed the factory rear sight.
I bought one and mounted it to see how it fits.
Very nice but I don’t use it because I have a Williams peep on my Crosman/Sheridan Bluestreak.
(Note: I also have the original sights with the wedges but I cannot figure out how to put it on..)

Oh by the way that H9A has the same problem that your Sheridam has, an extreme right poi that the sight adjustments couldn't reach.
The red dot was my solution. Heres a video of the results, and keep in mind a Sheridan is typically way more accurate.

Have you looked at the crown to see if there is one? Or if it's been knocked on one side. The barrel looks to be fairly straight in the picture, but that may be deceiving?

I don't know that he is reading these posts at the moment. I mentioned a simple accuracy test that would reveal a Crown problem. I have this same issue with a Crosman H9A pistol.

This Sheridan didn't shoot straight either. LOL

That looks like my Hatson Blitz.
