Very few UK non gun plumber types that will run an alternative reamer up your spout to save a few bucks.

Have you tried seating the heads bullets a lot further out or have you lost rifling throughout and at the muzzle? Remember, it’s that last 1” that counts!

I can’t find it, but I’ve suspected for a while now that accuracy has dropped off and there isn’t much rifling left after I gave the bore a good clean and inspection. I’m not complaining though as I must’ve had around ten years from it and it was a second hand buy. It doesn’t owe me anything at all and could tell a lot of stories!

It'll come the day that optics will be longer than the rifle they sit on.

yes s sunshade and the archer add on do extend the top side a bit.
I've had this setup for over 15 years and you get used to it.

It’s a 595 deluxe sporter with wooden stock

Get it rebarrelled, it'll be worth it - if you chop the 595 in for a new rifle you'll kick yourself!

I hear you but can’t really justify it

Before you go and spend money, have you tried the simple things?
Get the rifle borescoped, you'll find out where the rifling has gone, throat or near the crown. maybe there is still metal in the grooves?
Try a different reloading regime, reload closer to the lands, different shaped bullet etc.. I have found a rifle's diet can changes in old age.
different scope, get a mate to fire it etc.
