[QUOTE="sweetjim, post: 3004127, member: 128716"] You are correct about the bore being filthy from the factory! I cleaned that thing for a good while! I finally sprayed it with bore scrubber (the foam stuff) and let it sit for an hour or so. I then went to scrubbing some more. Finally got clean patches when running through. I shot it at 100 yards with crappy Walmart ammo I had got off of my brother. Most groups were 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 or so. I did get one right at an inch. I definitely will look into moving into a better stock. I am not a reloader, so what suggested off the shelf ammo would do better in this gun. It has a 24-inch medium contour sport type it looks like. It's not a pencil sporter. I will definitely drop some oil in the trigger as you tried. Actually, it feels serviceable at this point. I live in Pennsylvania. I am just going to use the rifle for black bear hunting. I hunt around some large clear-cut areas and power lines. There are shot opportunities that could stretch out to 3 or 400 yards easily. There is also a lot off logging roads with 125-to-150-yard shots possible. If someday I want to hunt out west the 06 seemed like it would be capable of using for these types of hunts also. [/QUOTE]
