Thank you Gil,
Well the rifle is not shooting as well as I would like
I shot about a dozen rounds through it out back on Saturday and it showed promise but a trip the the range on Sunday turned out dissapointing even though it was with the same two boxes of ammunition
I only brought two boxes, one of Federal premium 100 Grn Nosler Ballistic Tip and a box of Sako 1117 gr Game Head. On the field the Sako showed better grouping but at the range there was not much differecne between them
.
One thing that puzzles me is that in each 10 round group was a small cluster of tight shots with the majority scattered opening the group up to around 1.9" I wonder if the rifle has underlying beddign issues. However before we can determine that I need to finish cleaning the bore although it looked clean I decided to give it a real cleaning and after applying Forrest Bore foam the pact came up bright blue so it's copper fouled.
Federl 100 Grn Nosler
Sako 117 Gr
I have noticed this before with used rifles the bore looks clean and a normal wipe through with 009 get clean patches but shot it a little them clean and it's amazing what this removes. The rifle has fired 39 rounds since I brought it. Oh I only brought the two boxes due to the cost as those two boxes cost $72 US and that was slightly discounted too.
