[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1764008, member: 108576"] Radman a local gunsmith told a few folks close to quitting time he recently had a customer to bring a rifle in to see why it now shoots 2 inch groups.The gunsmith used his Hawkeye borescope and said it is now a smooth bore rifle completely full of copper. The shooter said he runs a bore snake through it every now and then but has never cleaned the rifle. Even more so on an inexpensive rifle like the Venture he said they need a GOOD cleaning as the barrel is often rough as a cobb and even though they shoot great groups they gather copper more than a more expensive rifle. I like my Venture but I admit it does take more time to keep the copper out but the gunsmith said as it gets older it may gather copper less as it gets a little more smoothed out with use. Just my gunsmiths 2 cents Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
