Condor accuracy and cocking rifle
Since learning that the Condor is hold sensitive, switching to a dechoked LW barrel, and adding on a long hunter Maddog stock, my groups with the 7 ring slugs have improved a lot (28 yards holes touching or cloverleaf 4 shot groups). However, I started to notice that whenever I had trouble getting the rifle to stay cocked (after several attempts), the very next shot would be off by as much as 2 to 5 inches. But, if I was successful in getting the rifle to cock with 1 try, then the next shot was on target. Has anyone ever noticed this? What does this mean? Or am I doing something goofy?
I checked bushing screws (tight). Recently cleaned barrel. Scope on tight. No chance of scope parallex (using digital night/day vision scope). Shroud not clipping.
Starting PSI 3000. Typically I will shoot only 3-4 shots and pump back up to 3000 PSI. Rifle was recently taken apart and received full clean.
Rifle is AAA Condor with 1 piece tophat.

Safety was removed a couple months ago.
The rifle had a full take down and clean (by Randy at RL Airgun supply) maybe a month ago. Randy checked out the rifle and had it shooting tightly.
When I got it from Randy, it was shooting tight groups (using very light hold and bench rested). The Maddog stock was then put on and the rifle shot tight groups for a few weeks. When the groups started to open up, I noticed that I also had trouble cocking the rifle. Trigger springs not touched by me in a while.
Funny thing is that intermittant issue with cocking only started after I removed the safety. Before I removed the safety, I never had an issue with cocking.
Maybe you should just remove the safety.
Did you put all the trigger springs back into the same or original location? That would happen when i put just one of the springs in the wrong hole.
Troubleshooting: Seems like it was whatever you last did. The gun worked fine before taking it apart to install the new stock.

Dangerous when a trigger system is unreliable. If it won’t clock everytime it will trigger off eventually. You best fix it.
