Hi everyone!

I have just received my first long(er) range rifle and I am perplexed as to how the accuracy can be improved. I know that the hop up adjusts the spin of the BB to make it fly straighter but I am not sure how much if any it should be adjusted. Out of box, hop-up off, she fires 490-500 fps (0.2's). This is a little high and I am going to bring it down. The first few shots with no hop-up shout out and veered down to the left or right. I turned the hop up to about half, the shots stopped dropping as much but still would not go straight. I turned the hop on full and shot and It was slightly more accurate but still fired at about 470 and was not hitting my target. The target that I had set was out back about 50-60 ft away.

Does anyone have any information on how to make the gun more accurate? I know I will have to adjust the scope eventually, but how can I get better, if any, grouping?

What parts should I swap out?

Is there any specific cleaning that I should do to aid the accuracy of the gun?

Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you in advance - J2
