I had a new Pac-Nor put on my old 77V in .220 and the barreled action made it back to me about a month before I expected (nice surprise). I went 24" and 1:12 to make the rifle a bit lighter and give me a little more flexibility in bullet choice. I am going to finish it with Moly Resin as soon as I can, then put it all back together and see what she'll do now (acquired the rifle in a swap years ago, never shot to expectations and found out the bore was pitted from throat to muzzle when I bought a Lyman Borecam a while back). My question is this: should I go ahead and give it the Bore Coat treatment before shooting it, or should I shoot it some and then treat it?

Personally I’d do it right away. No sense in having to try to get it to bare metal again when it’s coming to you as close as it gets.

Treat it right away. Had nothing but great luck so far. Plus it’ll save you a little scrubbing to get the Bore spotless.

I've treated two rifles so far, Scotty. I have yet to clean either of them so I haven't experienced the benefit. I'll go ahead and treat the Swift before I shoot it. Since Pac-Nor told me to send only the stripped barreled action with the bolt (NO trigger), I am assuming a bullet has never traversed the new bore (but I'll douche it out per Dyna Tek instructions for sure).

Thanks for the feedback, fellas.

It never hurts anything I’ve put it on. That’s for sure. I usually clean mine out after the first run of shots down the Bore. Probably not needed but I’m sold on the stuff.
