I took the rifle from the stock this morning and gave the gun a good cleaning. It wasnt bad, but squeaky clean now.
The muzzle brake is very classy. It too needed a good cleaning. But, now its as good as new.
I polished all the contacting parts to a mirrow finish on the trigger mechanism. Then all parts were treated with Tetra Lube.
I recently traded into a new Leupold 4-12x which is well suited to this gun. So, off with the 3-9x.
In mounting the new scope, I used three vertically split steel rings. This looks great and gives a bit more support.
A blessing the last owner had used rings that left the 3-9x scratch free. Will probably be on a certain Reeder Rifle soon.
The package came out phenomenal. I really love the Estate and Saturday Sales. You just have to beat Winn and Doug.
