Larry,
Man, what a shooting exhibition! The 6x boys here in Maine have their work cut out for them this year.
I, or Gary Long more specifically, finally figured out the problem with my 1-17 30 barrell...it wasn't locking up on the action face...he cut a relief for about .125" in front of the barrel flat and it seems to be shooting up a storm...or was last fall on a couple of outings. Gonna give it another twirl this year. It shoots so "soft" and cleans up like a dream. good shooting --greg
