[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 782652, member: 61747"] Awesome. I thought about this a bit more. I am far from an expert but I did notice that my barrel took a bit to break in and I was really trying to be as OCD about the break in as possible. Last weekend I shot at 942 yards and my first 2 rounds landed within 3" each other. After that I handed the rifle to my bud who was shooting beyond 600 for the first time. All of the 6 shots were good and would have hit a standard steel plate even with a different shooter and a shooter who shoots opposite hand. He was not shooting for groups at that point, just trying to hit a 6x6 inch rock. Why I mention is this simply because I cleaned that barrel meticulously and the those first two shots were cold bore, clean barrel. My goal is a clean rifle, first shot accuracy. If all other things are solid perhaps working that barrel a bit more is a good idea? Just a thought. BTW- I would do what ever Broz suggests as well. It is hard to tell on the internet who is an expert but I believe he has earned the title. [/QUOTE]
