juk,
Before hunting I take a few practice shots to make sure the rifle I'm using is on mark and if I have to I'll make adjustments then. I have a few warmer days coming up next week if the forecast is correct so they may just give me an idea as my last day at the range was just about freezing temps. Good info, thanks!
Thanks Mr.T,
Honestly I wouldn't suggest this rifle to anyone being what I have been through with and I may see one future issue to deal with still. It looks like I may have to do something with the magazine's spring action clip in the stock next. I don't think it should be a real major issue to cure but all the flaws in the rifle sure add up.
The last time at the range (I forgot to mention this!)when I loaded the magazine the first shot made the magazine fall out of the rifle. It looks like the plastic retainer for the spring on one side of the clip has a crack in it.
