Thanks for the info, ztirffritz......... :o)

Hi Danny, I understand your frustration......... :o) As far as your question on how much metal I removed, that wouldn't make any difference on yours, or any other gun. There isn't a decent way, or a reason for that measurement. You would only remove as much as is needed to "lift" your point...

Hi Mentolio, looks like it's going pretty well with your new 460 Magnum....... :o) I haven't chronographed any of the pellets I've shot through my 34 .22, or the 54 .22 I returned, as I just use 10 shot groups @ 20 yards for accuracy testing. But just wanted to pass along that my best groups...

Hi Alan, I totally understand your frustrations. My first air rifle was a Benjamin Trail NP something or other in .22 cal. I went nuts trying to figure it out. Found 2 pellets it liked best, and it would group around 1" at 20 yards. But it always had a few fliers. A friend of mine lives in...

Hi Mentolio, from your comment, I figured you lived overseas somewhere....... :o) But living in New Jersey??, now I'm really feeling bad for you. I live in the middle of Montana, in a small town with a population of 450. The whole county doesn't have 2,000 people in it. The way my head is...

Hey Mentolio, I certainly understand "The question had to be asked."............ :o) And I agree that since these 2 guns were consecutive, at some point before??, and at some point after??, the 54s wouldn't have this problem. But that would be the factory's responsibility to figure out. As I...

Hi mark404, thanks for replying. I won't mention the vendor, but your thoughts on the AoA test firing might be the way to go. As mentioned, I do want a 54, but just a bit down on RWS/Umarex right now. While my view is perhaps childish in today's world, I just can't fathom guns with these...

Hi Mentolio, and thanks for your interest......... :o) And glad you're so tickled with your 460 Magnum. I might end up going that way myself, as I was wanting something with a smidge more velocity than my Mdl 34 in .22. The sliding action of the 54 appealed to me, along with its slight edge in...

Hi spysir, thanks for the reply. Guess it's a moot point now, as I've just setup the return of the second gun. And as it's a new gun, don't want to consider barrel bending, as the problem shouldn't exist anyway. Had it been a used item, that would make good sense. It's frustrating as can be...

Hi Azuaro, and thanks for the response. I am aware of the front sight adjustment feature, and used it. Adjusted to its lowest level, (front sight), and adjusting rear sight to its highest level, point of impact is still 1" low at 20 yards. And this doesn't even take into account that the rear...

 Hi guys, if possible, I'd like to understand why 2 Mdl 54s cannot reasonably be sighted in. I bought the first 10-6-15. In adjusting the iron sights, I noticed the rear sight had to be adjusted to the right, all the way. (The furthest L line on the sight.) Elevation simply couldn't be adjusted...

A bit of an update: After the above repairs, and re-mounting the UTG, I shot 6, 10 shot groups today. Using 3 different pellets, it was immediately apparent that setting the gun up as close to "optical center" as possible is a great thing. Groups were much better, with only 1 flier in 60...

Hi guys, I've got the problem mostly dealt with. After looking further, and ciphering on it, I decided to try and correct the breech to action mating. I figured taking metal from the breech was the only way I could help the problem, to correct the excessive droop. I removed the sealing ring...

Hi spysir, thanks for the comment. I'm going to dig through my tools to come up with the needed components to make up a screw press. While I have my head finally wrapped around the so called straightening process, it just pisses me that the barrel/breech itself is perfectly aligned. The...

Hi 30cal, yeah, that does sound a bit scary.......... :o) I'll think about that a day or so. And just might try it. I'm an old, retired mechanic/welder, and have been fixing stuff all my life. I do have the equipment to make a "bender", so there's no problem figuring how to set-up like the...

Hi again Mentolio, and thanks for your continued interest. I'll try to answer your first question..... I used a large, tapered reamer. It has the same taper angle, or really close, as the scope's bell angle. The mount itself has a length of around 120mm. The 1" portion of the scope is around...

 Hi Mentolio, thanks for the reply. I guess I used the wrong terminology when I said I'd "zeroed" the scope. Anyway, I did optically center both of the UTG scopes. Sadly, when trying to attain sight-in at 20 yards, they both would have the knob come off of the scope. Just like unscrewing a...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. The RWS lockdown mount is a droop compensating mount. Plus, I do have the arrow pointing to muzzle. And as stated in OP, the mount/gun setup worked fine with a RWS 4x, and a BSA 4-12x...

Hi all, I'm trying to mount a slightly higher powered scope on a RWS 34. Bought a bundle .22, that came with a RWS lockdown mount, and a RWS 4x scope. This combo worked well, but I wanted a bit more power in the scope. I'd just scoped a RWS 34 .177 cal. with a UTG 4-16x50, w/ same lockdown...

Loved the video and the shooting....... :o)
