IMHO, I thinks it's tough for the 'average' hunter/shooter to shoot a rifle out. Average being the key word here. I'll go along with Roskoe, a much more common 'problem' with CF rifles is they get dirty. I've seen it in my own rifles where they start to fall off and need a good copper cleaning. Sweets has always worked well although it can be dirty and VERY time consuming. I started using the Outers Foul Out and it works terrific! Nice thig is I now copper-clean every rifle I have about once or twice a year. No fuss, no muss.
