Hi. I bought 6 of these for a school club and they vary wildly in accuracy - some will hold a 1inch group at 10m and some a 6inch.
Try a little light oil in the barrel and better quality pellets - I buy "Ecole de Tir" in France.

Thanks for the post but i shoot at 30-50 yards and 6 inch groups at 10m is not good eneugh.

I use a SMK Biathlon Trainer with Diopter sights no proble . My mate is a very highly trained shot . He hits 5 pellets in the form of a cross at 10 mtrs in the centre of the target thats top middle bottom one left on right tighly grouped

thats strange because I shoot at an international standard and I can't group them into a 2" circle at 30 yards I got 1" at 10 m

Hi

we use Bulldog, they are cheap and at 10 mtrs they are great for the kids

Looks good to me we've all used some bulldog pellets at some point.

Just got four Biathlon trainers for our area scout team shoot . I have sighted them in at ten meters and one rifle I got 4 in a group of 15 x 15mm the other three I got all 5 gamo pellets fired at each 5 ring coloured target from scoreing ring 3 inwards in very windy conditions and have not even adjusted them yet. Boy have they got some power and are only 450 ft/sec can anyone tell me how far the pellets are likely to travel 20 meters 30 or 50 meters or is there a calculator.

The rounds will travel many meters but their effective / accurate range is no more than 10m
