how do I know how far to set the top hat I did ajust it and it emptied the bottle over nite
You say it “shoots all over the place”. Are your shots being thrown randomly around the target, or do they fall in a certain pattern?
A picture of one of your targets would help, as would telling us what pellets you are using.
I assume as you are in the UK you will have a moderator of some sort fitted. Check that this is not causing clipping of your pellets, ie there may be something misaligned inside that the pellets hit as they exit. You can often see this if you shoot against a dark background target, the pellets seems to wobble or screw through the air rather than flying straight.
The breech seals can be reconditioned rather than replaced, get a small (tiny) smear of molycote grease on the top hat where the breech slides over,it will transfer to the seals which may be a bit dry. Obviously if the seals are cracked they should be replaced.
Check the top hat is firmly fixed by the grub screws, if loose you can get fluctuating amounts of air through and that will not aid accuracy.
There are many things that cause innaccuracy in pcp air rifles, sometimes there is an easy and obvious solution, but all the factors need to be considered.
Hope this gives you a bit more to work with.

Try the seals first. Let us know if that helped.
sorry for the long delay been ill my stealth has the original breach but has a adjustable top hat with 2 tiny screws in it and in side it looks like luppys hammers in there I think the bottlel is a high flow well that’s what he said I have try bisley mags in it and super domes but still shoots all over the place so shall I change the 2 seals in the breach or is it better to get a modded one I done mind doing the work my self many thanks for the replys
The Talon is pretty close to the Stealth, with discrepancy in things like year-model differences. There’s tons of general info, like air leak fixes, that is applicable to your Stealth. Depends on how much you want to get into doing your own work. I’d recommend browsing the Talon section to get a feel for what info is in there.

Depending on whether you have an original Gunpower breach, you may just need a couple of new o rings, available very cheaply from Gunpower, it does however depend on what else has been done to the gun as to whether this is the only problem. There are many mis-guided mods done in the UK in the attempt to get US power levels. If you are really struggling to understand the mechanism, then sending the gun back to gunpower wouldn’t be a bad plan.

0.080 in. is a good starting point, but those two things don’t really go together (gap~tank leak).
