salt bath nitride plus UBC ? - 05/16/16
We have discussed this damned Ruger77 mkII in 260 a couple times. I never could make it shoot, so I handed it off to a proven smith who builds rifles to shoot out to 2000 yds.
After trying all of his accurizing tricks, including a new Timney trigger, she was still shooting into 3 plus moa.
A new Kreiger 24 inch with a slightly heavier than original custom contour is on the way and it will be nitrided. It will be loaded with 200 new pieces of Lapua brass and 120 gr Scenar l bullets.
Question is, should I go ahead and coat it with UBC as well.
I run moly in every rifle I own, but intend to skip the moly in this bore.
