Sighting in Air Rifles
Is this the place to ask about sighting in Air Rifles. If so, please let me know cus I will be getting a air rifle soon. And if it is not sighted properly, I might come here for advice.

Thanks Howiek...
Ok, I have one question for now. The type of air rifle I bought was a Crosman 664SB. Its a pump type. I have been looking all over the net for a full cleaning kit for Crosman air rifles and have not found one. Crosman only sells the oil for there guns and sells a cleaner for there CO2 guns.
Where can I find a full sised cleaning kit for my Crosman? I am talking cleaning rods, brushes, pads, oil, etc. Thanks...

there is some cleaning kits out there for airrifles but they may not be made by crosman, but a quick search showed gamo and daisy both make cleaning kits that should work with most air rifles.
other than oiling the rifle to keep it from rusting I wouldnt be to concerned about cleaning it.

How do you sight in a air rifle?
I am a biginner on guns/airguns and I understand that you have a windage and elevation adjustment on these scopes. But I don't know how you sight these things in. This scope is a 4x15. Any information would be appreciated.

Terminator20,
The distance you sight your rifle in for will depend on what you are shooting, but you could use the competition distance of 10 meters or 33 feet as a starting point.
You should use a rest of some type to steady the gun and shoot several groups of five shots on a target to see where they are going .
After firing several shots to the point that they are all in a fairly small group, you can move the adjustment screws on the scope to move the aiming point to the bullseye.
The direction to move the adjustment screws is usually marked and you should only move it a small amount at a time.
Here are some links with airgun info.

Need more just ask.
Oh ya, to adjust the scope on the rifle you should be able to put the gun to your shoulder and without moving your head forward or backward, have the scope in the right position for viewing a good image in the lens.
Also, if the image is not clear you can normally turn the rear lens after loosening a lock ring to focus it.

Just letting you know, I was able to sight in my air rifle. Just got to it yesterday. Seems to fire BB's pretty fast. I will be getting some pellets for it too, and will find out how they work. Thanks for all who have helped!
