[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 1873170, member: 113391"] I’m a fan of t he old Tv program CSI, Crime Scene Investigation. The early ones with Grissom. He had a procedure in his investigations. Yeah ,that's Television, not real. But the way I see it what we are doing here is a remote investigation of Wesg93’s Browning X-Bolt. Procedure could start anywhere. Top to bottom, bottom to top, in the middle. Random. Cleaning that barrel with a proper solvent will need to be done regardless. So, start there. It’s reasonably cheap in view of the cost of replacing components. Then, while in the process of letting the defouling take effect other items can be checked: the crown, all screws, scope bases and rings, barreled action’s relationship to the stock, the stock inletting, broken components, anything that comes to mind. Gathering information about the problem will lead to a solution. One of my reactions would be to hold a mirror to the scope objective end, and then turning the elevation and windage adjustments,[I] (with the scope on lowest power, and mirror against the objective, there should be two reticle sets visible when looking through the ocular/eyepiece. One set stationary, the other moves when adjusted)[/I]. Maybe give it a couple bumps with the heel of my hand to see if any unwanted movement occurs. Kind of a layman's preliminary scope check. ([I]Leupold used to have the mirror thing on their web site. Knowing about it, I probably couldn't sleep till I did it[/I]). [/QUOTE]
