I just did the same with an old RWS 34.I tuned 2 of them out of the box last year. The barrel takes about 5 seconds to bend up level.
I don't have a vice either, but there is a forked tree in the front yard. Don't bend too much, it would be hard to go the other way.Well I'm sure it's easy but I don't have a vise to do something like that. I honestly like the looks of the hunter with the sling swivels in 177.
Another one to consider and posted on Airgun Warriors classifieds. Bit rough Beeman R1 .20. He's asking $600 plus shipping but factor in that the period correct Beeman SS2 scope and 1 piece mount is included and alone sell anywhere from $250-$300+ on auction sites. He's also including an original Beeman Pell Seater which sell around the $50 mark, so even if you didn't want them, you could recoup some of your money selling them later on.I would love a good 20cal but they are like hens teeth.
I use the fork in my shootin shade tree right beside my bench.I don't have a vice either, but there is a forked tree in the front yard. Don't bend too much, it would be hard to go the other way.
+1. I might expect that kind of thing on a low priced Chinese or Turkish gun, but if I'm spending $400 or more on a rifle they ought to at least make sure the barrel and the dovetails line up.if i got a drooping barrel gun i would keep sending it back under warrantee till i got a good one .
Yeah, I'm not going to go through that effort when it should come that way+1. I might expect that kind of thing on a low priced Chinese or Turkish gun, but if I'm spending $400 or more on a rifle they ought to at least make sure the barrel and the dovetails line up.
