I've owned (or still own) several other H&R's, so I'm pretty much ruling out the gun as the problem with the accuracy, particularly when several friends have reported the same problem, especially in any sort of crosswind. I've hung it on the wall and went back to my .222 for woodchucks--I can reload for less than the cost of .17 ammo, and it's more accurate, more powerful, and longer range to boot.
