[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 176556, member: 7"] Have you throughly cleaned it... I mean REALLY cleaned it. Many 17 HMR shooters treat them like 22 rimfires, and the cleaning is almost non-existant. But these little puppies do copper foul, and it doesn't come out with a lick and a promise. Use wet patches with copper solvent - don't use brushes. Keep wet patching, with 30 minutes between them to soak, until the patches come out white. I doubt that Marlin will re-barrel it, the cost would be as much as a new rifle. Also... do the regular checks - make sure the scope is tight, stock screws are tight, etc... . [/QUOTE]
