[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 2897153, member: 17593"] This may have been covered; but here's my 2 cents. Most likely, as others have said, the problem is in the forend. They are tricky to "adjust" as the rifle has an interesting way of attaching. My advice is to seek out a VERY qualified gunsmith who can bed it properly. I would say the one who put together my 17/222mag; but he's quit the business. He was smart enough to take a lot of time to let the new custom forend "age", (quit warping) to keep it from happening later. It worked ! This rifle has shot 2 (I didn't believe the 1st one) 1/2 " , 3 shot groups at 200 yards. Yes, I said 200 yards. So this is why I highly recommend a very qualified 'smith to work on the forend. You have a fine caliber and it is an accurate round. With the right bedding, your #1 should improve a lot. Also, about cleaning it. The best way is using a bore snake. Probably it's been shot more than 20 times; so just start the snake cord into the barrel, pour some Ballistol down it and pull through. It's that simple. No need brush it as the snake has it. Once done, keep shooting til you think the accuracy is falling off. That can be a 100 or more shots. I love this method! [/QUOTE]
