Help needed?
So due to a new permission I have dusted down the trusty Anshutz 1417 in .22 lr that has sat in the cabinet gathering dust and even treated it to a new Zeiss conquest scope ( love the stalking directory classifieds, thanks Ed). All fitted I decided to give it a good clean, now I had shot the rifle three or four times before and know that it was shot on shot at 60 yards. I can't remember ever cleaning either so spent some time cleaning out the mod ( full of crud) and cleaning the barrel with bore cleaner and nylon brush, much as I would with my centerfires. So filled with expectation I thought I'd go out and zero it yesterday, this is where the problem lies. I must of fired 75 rounds but the thing just won't group? I checked the mod by shooting without but still terrible, it would shoot a couple of shots close then the next three would be 2-3 inches away, after 1 hour I decided to leave it , can anyone advise what I should do now? Should I try another clean or maybe it just needs another box of ammo through it, can someone help! Tom
