How accurate are pump rifles??
The one I got's my first, but even way back when, they had a reputation for being more accurate than one would expect. On mine, there's no contact between the forend and barrel at all, so it's essentially free-floating. No rattles, either.
Remounted the scope in Burris Signature rings on a Leupold one-piece base yesterday. Looks 1000% better and comes up right to my eye, no chin-weld. The scope is very long, so no eye-relief problems either.
Next week it goes to the range.
Went back to the shop where I got it yesterday to pick up a transfer, and the AR I traded was still there, but this puppy's going hunting soon.
