Go to a game or gaming field, adjust the hopup properly for the longest trajectory.
When that is done, shoot a few rounds, adjust the sights as close to the average impact area as you can. Shoot a few more rounds, adjust again.

Is that what you mean? Or are you asking what other kind of sights you can add?

thanks

Congrats, I hear thats a nice rifle. I'd also suggest trial and error.

Why? Test firing is the only way. Works for real guns too. Do you have other proven techniques to offer?

No, that's what I meant by trial and error, test firing. Sorry for the confusion.

Tell you what. When you have owned an airsoft gun, and used it, and worked on it, feel free to give advice. Until then, please learn some stuff yourself?

Dont feel targetted too badly, many new folks try to help and it's really... sad.

There are few things worse than newbies giving advice to newbies.

How is it sad that I am trying to help? You don't have to actually have a gun to know how to use it (to some degree)... reading does wonders, as you say. I've seen, heard, and read, that trial and error is one of the best ways to calibrate a real firearm...I thought that it would carryover into Airsoft. Just because I have a low post count, and don't own a gun yet, it doesn't mean I'm stupid. ;)

There's a huge difference in saying Trial and Error, and describing a sight-in method.

That's the difference between book knowledge and real knowledge. One helps, the other confuses.

I'm not saying you are stupid, I am saying you dont have enough information to help effectively yet.

i agree

Grey, you're getting soft. Starting to help with these questions... before, you would send the FAQ match to a question that was totally unrelated to anything or was a perfectly logical question...

I guess Stalker love and following of posts has finally softened you?


ASC has become a better place... but still need some flames for the 'pandapimp'! :mrgreen:
