I swapped out the factory mounts on my new Gamo Raptor Whisper rifle a couple of days ago. Went to a solid machined aluminum mount with double the number of set screws and blue glued them in. Today I went out back to sight it in at 35 yards. First group of 4 shots were tight but high and to the left. The scope adjustments are not the best so it took me about 15 shots to get it into the center red. At that point, I tried to shoot 5 more for proof but I was no shaky from having cocked that thing so many times that my shots were all over the place; one would go dead center than the next 2-3 would dance all around. I don't believe I have ever cocked one of these more than 5-6 times at one session but I am telling you it wore me out.
If I could have afforded it, and if there was a decent air refill station nearby, I would have gone with PCP. The gun is accurate and quiet but if I don't hit the target with the first 5 shots, I might as well lay down and take a nap.
I hate getting old.
