Thanks again

I bid 500.00, was just fooling around. Surprised to get it.


You might be surprised.

Use a combo of JB Bore Paste/Kroil on bronze brushes. Give the barrel 50 strokes or so and change out your brush. Clean till you get almost no color on a patch. Then swab some wipe-out/patch-out or Sweets down the barrel with a soaked patch. Leave 15 minutes and see if there is any blue (indication of copper fouling in the barrel). If any blue, do the 50 stroke bronze patch drill again, then clean. Do this until you have the barrel down to bare metal. You can also take a dowel and wrap in 80 grit sandpaper and free-float the barrel channel. I sometimes will use tin-foil shims or poster board shims between the action and stock if the steel shims are not there. In over 2 dozen Sakos, I've not had any that did not have a manufacturing defect that I could not get to shoot sub inch at 100 yds with my hand loads, 220 swift to 375 H & H.


ya!
