Thread: Air rifle advice

My creepy Stoeger RX20 .22 air rifle
I had a brain fade one day in H&F when they were selling them for $299 – seemed like a powerful and fairly silent air rifle – scope and adjustable trigger looked good. I managed to get it reasonably accurate using Javelin rabbiter hollow tip slugs and had a couple of good kills.
I clamped a Southern Star slimline torch on the scope – couldn’t clamp it anywhere else – but probably not a great idea and didn’t get a chance to light up a bunny so have taken it off.
Had two opportunities in last week of so to head shoot a bunny laying low in the garden at about 10m – an eye looked like a good target – but both ran off
So I took it to a safe place to make holes in a cardboard box at 20m – 100mm to the left and 50mm high – no wonder the head shot didn’t work
So the next opportunity after adjusting the scope was a bunny laying low 30m down the lawn – buggar the fancy head shot so went for the middle – whack and he ran off – dog couldn’t find him – but he will be around somewhere
But back to the trigger – I adjusted it to the lightest setting – but there is so much creep that I have developed a jerk at the end of the creep. Is there anyway that I can get rid of the creep?
My thoughts on a Stoeger are not to be printed – it has a very strong spring and I have to bump the barrel to open it – that cant be good for the scope!
