Thread: shooting high

Miroku mk70 sporter is shooting high and it does not have shims. . Its real flat shooting gun. How can I fix this

you say its shooting high but then you say its a real flat shooting gun??

Yeh ha ha. . Its shooting high . if I drop my head and sight straight down the rib its hits the target but also smashes my check. I like to be looking on top. ? . Same thing with my simi but fixed that with a shim . Is it a easy fix .

ok i also like to be looking "on top" i hate flat guns. I have an adjustable comb in my guns

you really need to have your head hard on the stock no matter how you like to shoot tho mate, its the only way to get a consistant mount which results in consistant breaks.

Im not quite sure what you mean but but experiment with a bit of foam roll mate and tape it onto the stock, this will give you a higher head position an will also have the added effect of softening some of the cheek bashing

Usually by doing this your gun will pattern a bit higher tho. try it.

Paint a bit of ply wood, put a dot in the middle, walk back 25m and squeze the trigger off when your bead hits the dot, go see where the majority of your pattern goes an repeat a few times
Thats the only way to get a definitive answer to how high your gun is shooting without someone very experienced helping you out

Yeh cheers mate. . I miss every clay 2day. . so placed 3 on top of each other about foot apart in a tree. Aimed for the middle one and hit the top one then aimed for the bottom one and hit the one above it. . . .

You had it on a pattern board to see exactly what its doing? If it truly is patterning high with your chosen load then you need to get it fitted to you if you plan to keep it, taking down the comb or something of that order

Was hoping to patten it 2day but did not . . Unsure about taking down the comb as I got a long neck. Will see what at looks like on the board then report back.

Just get the stock bent and the right cast put into it
My Miroku is a right hand gun and it had left hand cast in the stock
