An AO (adjustable objective) scope may help. And a good barrel cleaning.

I was having a lot of trouble placing decent-sized groups with my air rifles at only 25 feet. Groups were >1.5" and all over the place. Cleaned the barrels real good (I usually just use a swab; used a brass brush this time) and that made a lot of difference but still not what I wanted.

Read up on technique and did some more practice but still not as tight as I wanted.

Figured out that most scopes are set for 100 yards, thus I had some big parallax problems at 25 feet. Got an AO scope that I could adjust down to 25 feet and can now fire three shots that touch each other (when the barrel is spotless and I'm having a good day).
