Country boy,
Yes, this thread has gone on a long time. I missed where you described how you checked for parallax at both 100 and 200.
I'm coming to the conclusion that the rifle is possessed by demons. Haven't seen many rifles that are, but there have been a few over the years....
Have also come to the conclusion that I need to quit responding to any "Why doesn't my rifle shoot?" threads if they go on more than a maybe 20-30 other responses. Apparently beyond that point I don't care enough anymore to carefully recheck every response.
