I just purchased an NEF sidekick. I am using a Bushnell trophy "red dot" sight which I like very much and am using (2) 50 777 pellots with each 250g shockwave sabot. The place where I bought the gun put the sight on and they know what they are doing. I checked the sight out myself and it is properly and securely mounted. ***Note*** the gun was shot off of sand bagsduringthe sighting process...

Here is the problem: It took literally 2 shots to sight the gun in at 25yds (I have it shooting 2 inches high actually). When I shot at 50 yds the groupings where at least 10-11 inches higher than at 25 yds. Is this common??? Is the bullet actually rising that much? Should I use a heavier sabot?? Have I not "fouled"/"broke" the gun in enough??

All gropuings were within 1-1.5 inches and each shot had the same routine; I ran a little bit of cleaner on a patch and then a dry patch both inside and out, 2 pellots, 1 sabot, 209 winchester primer, and repeat. The sabot was pushed all the way to the bottom ... I am sure of it.

Is it the gun? Is it the sight? What??? Any and all help/info is appreciated as I am a little lost. If you need more info from me let me know ... I'll be checking this post quite often because I am anxious to hear on the matter.

Thanks everyone.

BTW ... I do plan on taking the site off and using the open/stock sights to determine if it is the gun or the "red dot" sight which is causing the variable. I was actually thinking of sighting low at 25 so it tapers off at 50 and 100 yds, but that is the last resort.
