Folks: My Mosin Nagant M44 shoots pretty accurately; with my hand loads, and 4X pistol scope with Darrel scout mount. Problem is, however, that my first cold bore shot is ~4" low, consistently. The following shots can be kept within the bullseye at 50 yards, but I have experienced this every time I take this rifle to the range.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to over come this? Perhaps the stock needs to be bedded or something?
This weekend, I will take it out again and shoot the first cold bore shot with a dirty barrel, to see if the problem is because of a cold bore, or compounded by having a clean bore. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
