[QUOTE="HooterShooter, post: 101856, member: 5549"] Shoot 3 shots and clean and don't worry about sighting in. Don't even worry about a scope. Just blast off 3 shots. Go sight in at 100 yards. This will be a rough sight in because the barrel in not broken in yet and moa accuracy will suck. Shoot about 15 rounds or so at this session including the sight in shots then clean the gun. Dont worry about groups. The barrel should be broken in enough to shoot pretty good at your next session especially if its a match barrel like a Lilja. Next session go and shoot a few groups I usually shoot 4 or 5 groups of 3 letting the barrel cool between each group. These groups should be decent and should get better and better with each session. You will KNOW when its broken in. It will shoot great and clean easy. I know a lot of guys like the 1 shot clean method, but I think its a waste of time. I'm not knocking them as I have many shooting or reloading practices that are a waste of time, but I do it anyway. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
