Dragonlr Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Finally got out tonight set the turrets back to original zeros put target out at 100yds had 3 shots with no mod on surprised it grouped half inch three inches to the left put mod on fired one shot,perfect one inch high at 100yds started raining went to other side of farm to baited area 15min later Vixen arrived and down she went so gun is now spot on think it was all the rust& crud round the thread on barrel where mod sits as tried 2 mods and still spraying bullets now threads are clean it's shooting spot on so when I got in tonight first job cleaned gun and oiled it. Thanks lads for all the input done every thing that was suggested which must have helped sort out the problem.atb Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom gunmaker guy recons it could have been tipping the mod over slightly and now it's cleaned off can see why before it took brute force to screw the mod on.atb Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB1 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 No, nothing worse than leaving mod,s on rifles and putting them away after shooting. Burnt rifle powder is hygroscopic (attracts moisture). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thoroughly clean the threads on mine and the crown of the barrel after taking shots just to be sure. Glad its all sorted for you and well done on the vixen.
