In this video I have adjusted the trigger weight to see if it improves the accuracy of the rifle. Again, there is no first stage pull at all, making it a single stage trigger as it stands. The trigger pull comes straight up against the trigger resistance, but it breaks easier than before, making the shots a little more predictable and closing up those groups with the first set of pellets. This gave me the confidence to shoot reactive targets at 50 and 60 yards.
Dennis is taking the rifle back to the RFD and will then decide on whether to get a replacement ATA Airborne or a different rifle based on what he finds with the replacement.
Air rifles are strange things. They should all shoot as expected, but the same brand, model and caliber can all end up with their own little differences. When the problems become a regular problem, and rifles are returned to the dealers, that is when the upgrades are made to the Mk2 rifles, which is a shame, as the end user is usually the one that has paid the cost for these upgrades and will probably not buy the brand again. The best advice that I can give you is to return the rifle to the dealer under warranty so that it can be either fixed or replaced. The end result will be a happy customer.
