A while back, the wife got me a Gamo Whisper when I told her I wanted a pellet rifle.
Seemed to do well with open sights, and after a few days, I decided to put the included scope/mount on it.
When I did that, I found I couldn't sight it in. Started at 25 yards and noticed that it would make good groups for 3-4 shots, then it would start hitting several inches low and left, high and right, etc. But, each time the zero moved, it would group there for a few shots, then move again.
I swapped out the factory scope with another 3x9 scope that I previously had on another gun and worked fine, even if it was a little cheap.
Same problem. Groups nicely for 3-4 shots, then starts grouping somewhere else several inches away.
I gave up, pulled the mount off, and shot it for a while with the open sights. Seemed to work much better that way, except the open sights are terrible, and my eyes aren't much better.
Started looking and really didn't like the two-piece mount that the Gamo comes with. So, I decided to order a one piece mount that clamps directly to the dovetail. The new mount also has a stop that I adjusted to keep the mount from moving.
Tightened the heck out of everything and took it to the range. Started shooting and working my shots into the bullseye. Got it almost there, then the groups jumped way left and low again.
Walked it over again, and just about when I got it there, it jumped way right. Did this two more times and finally gave up.
What gives? I keep reading the reviews and lots of people seem to like theirs and many don't have these problems. Anybody have this problem with their Gamo? Wondering if there is something else I should try, or should I just give up and get something else?
