Ok, thanks guys. I guess i'll be good with it. It will save me some loot too. Although, reading the newspaper at that distance would be pretty cool[smile].
I have qualified to use the 300yrd range at my club. I have not yet shot out any further than 100yrds. The most powerful scope I have is 4-16x50 Nikon Monarch. Will this be sufficient enough for this distance or should I not waste my time and find a more powerful scope?
Thanks Jr.
Just got back from the range. It is definitely a whole new rifle. The trigger feels great and the bolt is nice and smooth. I tried what you said Jose and no problem there.
Patriot, the gunsmiths name is Ron Strickland. He is in Berkley. His number is 508-880-2858.
Thanks Jose, I will test that out. I hope to be at the range tomorrow. He also shortened the screw behind the bolt because the bolt was touching it a little when pulled back and pushed in. Also he filed down the stock a hair so bolt locks nice and easy now. Total damages $45 and less then 24...
The gunsmith called me today. He lighten the trigger pull from 8.5lbs down to 2.75lbs. He's charged $35, seemed fair. I can't wait to try it out at the range tomorrow.
