Old Mossy Horns
To get the rifle most accurate as possible without replacing barrel and stock.
Bedded the front lug earlier in the year. Didn’t see much improvement.
I’m green to the game. So after scratching my head long enough I inspected the barrel and inside the muzzle.
It shot sub MOA with some light factory bullets. 55gn range. Every thing over that opened to 1-1.5 moa
I don’t reload. And I have a lot of match mil spec hand loaded 77gn smk. I know a little heavy for 1-9 twist but the round is so consistent even when it had a bad crown it would shoot MOA sometimes. Hope to play further in near future now that things are as should maybe.
The smith agreed it needed a new crown. So we took an inch and put an 11* crown on.
Looks great. It’s hard to tell what a bad crown looks like until you get a fresh one.
There was heavy pitting corrosion in the first 1/8” down the tube.
Neglect by first owner I assume.
While the gun was at the smith I upgraded to a 20moa rail and bought a 12x swfa scope from raging bull. Thanks man.
So I bedded the rail last night as it had .0015” gap in the back.
