Start easy, pull a few patches of ballistol through it on a patchworm, see if it changes back.

If you haven’t made any changes to it whatsoever, try cleaning the barrel first.

Great demented minds and all!

Tried balastol and patch worm no change I'm wondering if it might be baffle striking

Bore scope may be helpful or retrieval of a spent pellet.

Do you have initial crono data for comparison?

By chance this didn’t start with a new tin of pellets?

Make sure nothing loosened up. Barrel, shroud, moderator.

Was setting shooting 30 yard target it stacked 10 pellets in a bug hole 3 different times filled air tank went back out to shoot shot a 5 shot group with was again one hole then next 3 groups were about 4 inch groups cleaned gun nothing in barrel but does have alone of pellet dust at end were baffles are but can't find any sign of baffle strikes didn't have no change in fps so I'm lost

Can't shoot it with a moderator I've tried several ones it will not group with a moderator on it

Did you clean the baffles and the tube they ride in? Sometimes that can help.

You can pull the barrel and push a pellet through it with a rod and see what the pellet looks like. Make sure it doesn't have any odd damage.

While you have the barrel out, use the cleaning rod and patches to clean it. Patchworm kits work really well but sometimes you need a patch on a jag to really clean up some stuck lead. If you have a bore scope, that will help you see the problem. If not, just run patches until they are just a little gray.

Just talked to JimT66 he told me about your problem
take your scope off and tighten the Pic rail screws and check for stripped screws, they were known for bad screws
hope this helps

Finally figured it out the baffles are loose fitting causing very lite baffle strikes thans for all the help it's shooting great again but still can't shoot it with a moderator

my son has printed me 3 supressors, and I have had no poi shift
are you using a large diameter supressor

 

[old navy]

I also have a striker

 

[Red0130]

.22 caliber and .25 caliber moderators and no luck

Red, is it scattering your shots with the moderator, or causing bad poi shift to one area? My Nightfall gen.2 was printing tight but about 3 inches low with aftermarket lightweight mods. Then I put the factory one back on, that fixed it. No clipping at all. Like any aftermarket mod was pulling down on the barrel.

 

[Red0130]

Throwing shoes everywhere on be way up the other left low 5 inches just every which way

Hey guys, new member here from Airgun Nation! Found this place while researching the Pinty Striker. I run a Pinty .25 with a modified setup. I ditched the stock baffles for a Big Air Precision moderator. The noise reduction is awesome, and the accuracy improvement was an immediate bonus.

If you want better accuracy, watch this video to see why removing the baffles on your Pinty Striker might be worth it.
