Hey All,
I have been lurking for a while and finally registered. I have seen many posts from links from rimfirecentral.com and ar15.com.
My problem is this: I bought a Remington .243 ADL Youth for my daughter so she can start hunting with me. I bought the last one WalMart had by me for only $325 NIB. I have tried to sight this rifle in but the poi changes. I swapped the scope from my 1972 30-06 BDL and bought new Burris steel rings and base, but it just won't shoot like it should. Is there some kind of barrel break-in period? Should I just shoot another few boxes of ammo through it? I have only shot it about 40 disappointing times. I am just not sure why it is not a tack driver "out of the box". Deer season is fast approaching and I need this rifle to shoot.
I would greatly welcome some suggestions.
