Put about 200 pellets through it. The barrel needs to be good and broken in. Your groupings will tighten up and the gun will actually quiet down some.

ETA: About every 50 pellets I would clean the bore.

The first 40 shots or so I struggled to get a 2" group at 15 yards. After about 80 right now the groups are starting to tighten up and my fliers miss by maybe 1-2" instead of 3-4. Just put 4 pellets through the same hole in the middle of the bulls eye @ 15 yards. Don't know if the rifle is getting better or I am. Probably both :) It's seriously awesome to just go in the back yard to practice shooting technique.
