Thanks for the reply. It has a lot of good memories tied to it and my father is no longer with us. I am sure it isn't worth much but would love to make it work out as a fun gun to use on Coues and speedgoats. I really like the trigger and the long box magazine though. I am going to seat the bullets out further, clean it good with copper solvent, and try again. I have tried two different scopes, checked the barrel clearance, screw and ring torque. I have never seen a rifle shoot this bad so I am kind of puzzled. I can only link the lack of accuracy to being set back and rechambered. Wish I had not messed with it now. I wish I new for sure if rebarrelling would make it sing as I am sure it would cost twice what it is worth. Have a great day brother and Happy Father's day !
