[QUOTE="WapitiBob, post: 663539, member: 38015"] Before I sent it back I fired one shot to see how long it took to remove the copper and it was still almost 2 hours. I cleaned the gun, drove 20 miles to the range and put one shot down the tube. The inside of the barrel looked like a penny. I boxed it up and sent it in. I believe from reading on the internet, that the barrel was undersized on the muzzle end. I never put gage pins or a bore mic down it though. The replacement gun will shoot 3 out of 4 in a 1" circle at 200 yards, all 4 in less than 2" but it has taken nearly 200 shots with varying bullets, powders, seating depths, barrel forearm pressure, and a never ending headache. I bought the Rem so I could build a custom next year. I knew the factory gun wouldn't be top end but after you open the box you kind of forget that and keep trying to polish a turd. If it shoots 2" at 200 I really shouldn't expect much more but all my friends are telling stories if 1/2 MOA factory guns. good luck in WY. [/QUOTE]
