NICE photos and nice gun. Now, what about the rest of the story? How did it shoot, at what range, what propellant, patch type, lube type, etc.?

Finally, how do you clean and preserve your rifle bores?

It's got a beautiful stock on it for sure...I just shoot target loads on the weekends for playing around at 50yds...coke cans, steel hanger, pine cones, etc.

TARGETS
50grns Goex 3F
.018" pillow ticking NL1000 (or Hoppes if it's dry/low humidity)
Hornady (or Speer) .440s

HUNTING
90grns Goex 3F
Oxyoke Wonderwad
.018" TC Prelubed pillow ticking
Hornady .440s

Steaming hot soapy water, scrub brush every time, hot water rinse, bone dry the bore, heavily plaster every square inch of the bore with Natural Lube 1000.
