Well picked it up this afternoon. It's a really nice rifle dosent look like its been used much at all. The barrel does have a lot of copper built up but the owner said its only had around 40 shots run down it since it was purchased. I will shoot it tomorrow without cleaning( if deer hunting is slow) to see how it does. The only thing I didn't like about the gun is the BSA scope that's mounted to it. Got a spare redfield at the house I'm going to mount later. Now I gotta get a .17 cal drop tube for my redding measure, Dewey cleaning rod, brushes and jags. Brass and bullets redding bushing neck die and forester seater.
Thanks LB
i have a rod and guide maybe a funnel ..and a bottle of GOOD copper cleaner ! come see me we'll give her a cleaning :)....forget the drop tube one thing i found was every kernel of powder matters in the 17rem weight them all on a good scale !
