Thread: So I think I shot my best group with my Browning BAR tonight.

Yes the barrel is super clean. I've given the barrel a great cleaning. Not the gas ports and what not but the barrel is super clean. The rest I just sprayed down and it looks clean enough. What do you mean by checking the ejector to see if it's tight? How would one go about doing this? As for the rings I'm curious to see the picture as I don't really understand what you are talking about right now?

Quote: What do you mean make sure the rear ring is centered properly? I had the gunsmith at the shop install the scope and bore sight it in those rings. He used the ring adjustment I think. That's when I first bought the rifle. I've since changed scopes but never touched that adjustment on the rings. I have no idea really how it even works. I'd check to be sure, I'll post a picture or two to help you through the process....

If you think it is you, could you get a shooting buddy to try it out for you? That should answer that question. I notice from your picture that your gun has no pad. Have you considered installing one or having one installed? A 30-06 goes from a real bastard to a kitty cat with a pad. While I still rec. trying the 180 grain bullets, the recoil will be worse with them.

Have you tried different brands of ammo? Nice looking rifle!!

180-gr. OR 220-gr. If you haven't tried these yet, you ARE wasting ammo. Try them and come back with a thread like this one with the pictures. Nice rifle and scope --- probably just the wrong weight projectile in the combination. I really want to see you get this dialed in!

Sounds like you have scope problems to me.

Ive heard that bars in 308 win like hornady custom,rem corloct, and lake city 7.62x51 ammo.j.b.was the man.

check bases and rings. How many clicks did you move it? what distance are you shooting? next time don't swap during testing.

+1 Piper Cub Pics of the rifle, please.

Have you given the barrel a REAL GOOD cleaning? Sometimes the simplest things are overlooked
