And lastly, why loan out your favorite rifle? Who is going to take better care of it than you? At best, the whole time it’ s gone you’ ll be worried to death. At worst, it will come back corkscrewed around their 4- wheeler when they rolled it 7 times. Treat your rifle with kid gloves and it will shoot straight for years.
TIPS-Don’ t lay the barrel on anything while shooting.
-Check different manufacturers and weights of bullets to see which shoots best in your gun.
-When sighting in your rifles use binoculars / spotting scope so you don’ t have to run down to check shot placements or you’ ll be out of breath.
-A hot barrel affects your group. Light barrels are more susceptible to overheating.-Never buy reloads unless you know the guy. Once I bought some at a gun show that were too hot and blew the firing pin back through the bolt.-If a shot doesn’ t sound or kick like normal, remove the bolt and look down the barrel to ensure that it’ s not plugged. This could cause a disaster on the next shot.-Start off using cheaper ammo then dial it in with your high dollar ammo.
