Return it, but chit happens. Or maybe, as you undoubtedly know, a 2-pc may work better.
Never had that problem with a Ruger.
Now if I can just get that 270 Ruger take-off barrel clean and bore-coated with the stuff you brought me..... Looks like it had a crap-load of rounds through it, so , if after all this, it may go down the road or re-bored if the barely acceptable hunting groups don't mintain or get better.
It's fighting me for clean - The M70 I just started (for comparison) with >150 rounds through it is looking a whole lot easier!
I'm not frustrated .....yet. It's a learning curve.
Buying cheap has it's hazards. Apparently not so cheap does too.
