Thread: Air rifle

About good triggers and accuracy. I am not saying guns with bad trigger are inoperable, just to be clear. I shoot guns for pleasure. I just never get any pleasure shooting heavy and creepy triggers. This is just my personal preference. And since I dont shoot them, I never got good shooting them. Therefore, for me, bad triggers means no accuracy. That is not to say it must be so for everyone. Some people are able to shoot well with heavy and creepy triggers.

About tuning work, most people can probably perform basic clean and polish to any gun that is not too tricky to take a part, I agree. But often that is not enough and lower-end guns will need more work than high end guns. There is a recent blog post on a custom airgun shop's website, a Diana 56TH ( a $1400 NZD gun) needed re-crowning job because the factory finish was slightly off-center, thus produces flyers here and there. They did extensive turning job on top of re-crowning. In the end the gun was shooting quite well. I am guessing the tuning job would have cost close to the price of the gun (the re-crowning job alone was for about 150 USD). You can read all about it here.
