The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

Now I need to find out if the vertical drift was me, the barrel heating, the gun or the ammo.

Haven't put mine on paper yet. Red pad .243. Maybe next weekend if I'm not crippled (wasted 2 good days hobbled at home).

Somehow I have never owned an RSI, despite collecting #1's.
I'd probably try a few things first:
1. Quality handloads 2. Check the barrel for fouling/roughness. If needed fire lap it. 3. Relieve pressure points/inconsistent contact in teh barrel channel.
If that doesn't work, but you still like the rifle, I'd consider getting someone like Pac-Nor to rebarrel.

Finally got my ring/scope situation settled. That is simply one of the most handsome rifles I have ever seen. It is screaming in my ears: "Red Pad No. 1 Mannlicher" 1984?

I dunno the yr, will have to check serial #. Most boring stock I've ever seen on a #1, same on other side. I paid 650 for it, no rings. Not a steal, has minor marks. It's a huntin' gun. Add more. So whatever happens over time to the stock........aint gonna bother me. Wish it had some kinda figure though. Yeeesh. Pretty horrible IMHO.
