I could write a whole book here to help but dont have time. The 1st thing you should do is tighten all of the screws on anew gun. I would take the scope off if its a combo rifle (came with scope attached) and tighten everything myself. If you dont have a gun shop close to get it bore sighted. Get a very good rest(very important tohave a good rest)remove the bolt and look thru barrel at the target and slowly move head into scope and see how close it is(this only works if guns doesnt move when your head does). I use a paper plate at 50yrds for this. This usually gets me on the plate. IF you cannot do this because your rest isnt good enough, use a large piece of cardboard at 25 yrds or so and see where your hitting. Then adjust scope from there.
Make sure you put the scope on your rifle as far forward as possible(and still seethru it ok)so when there is recoil it has more room to come back. If it is a combo rifle the scope is prob kinda crappy and wont have the eye relief as a quality scope.
Take your time shooting and let the gun cool down between a couple of shots. Make sure you clean the gun after shooting. You should have cleaned it before you shot the 1st time. There are more posts on this subject so usethe search feature to get more advice. If you cant find what you need from there then Pm me I'll give you my phone # and talk you thru it.
Getting popped in the head is no fun and shouldnt happen. Being unexperienced and getting a gun with a higher recoil like that isnt the best thing to do, but thats what you have and you'll get the help you need here one way or another. Dont get to discouraged.
