[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1455517, member: 12995"] Be sure to pull the rifle out of the stock and clean all the metal surfaces with some RemOil and a microfiber cloth, like under the barrel and action, and places you can't normally get to with it in the stock. Swap the trigger while you got it out. Then re-torque the action screws to 65 inch-pounds, incrementally, starting at 25, then 35, 45, 55, and 65. Give that a try, and if she doesn't shoot to snuff, do a full skim-bed and lug bed with DevCon. Mine took about 25-50 rounds before settling in (break-in) with consistent groupings. Be sure to scrub that barrel down before the first time you shoot it. Also, after patching it dry, run you a soaked wet patch of Kroil down the bore before putting it back in the safe. And then before you go to the range, run you another wet patch of Kroil down the bore. The Kroil soaks into the metal and will help with the break-in, so your first few shots aren't running down a dry bore as you're trying to break in the new barrel. I'm giving away trade-secrets, but forums are for helping folks. :cool: [/QUOTE]
