[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 2095386, member: 91402"] I would check the barrel over very carefully. I have had a rifle keyhole like that and found a slight bulge in the barrel near the muzzle. I picked it up "cheap"and thought I had a deal because it was almost new, and a well-known brand name, but it wouldn't stay on the paper at 100 yards and the bullets were hitting sideways at 50. I took it to a gunsmith who showed me the slight bulge and suggested it probably happened when the front sight was being "sweated" on. To cut it back below the bulge would have made it too short. My "cheap" rifle cost me a new barrel. [/QUOTE]
