I don't think I'll be shooting it this weekend, but I will be ordering components and scrubbing out the bore with copper solvent and a little J-B Compound.

I've got a 2.5x Leupold in Ruger mounts that I'll take off another rifle. I've half a mind to put a NECG peep on the rear and a big old white bead up front, but that's for next year, maybe. I will definitely report back on shooting results.



I would load Scott's mentioned slug as a do-all and be done with it. Buy the Pro Shop blems and don't fuss with your rifle.

My mentioned 7x57 now sits in a "drilled" Ultralight stock (and pad) that goes about the same weight as an Edge (26 oz) and wears an NECG peep with their Sourdough front. A tidy little package.
