RE: A surprise cleaning the rifle
Well it was strange when I first spotted the flakes. I really was stunned. I figured a few solvent patches would fix it. Well the flakes got smaller, but kept showing up like glitter on the patch. That's when I broke out the bore paste.
I think I will shoot the rifle again next week just to see what happens, Maybe even send an email off to CVA and see what they have to say.
One other thing now that I think of it.. some of the buttons off the powerbelts traveled over 25 yards down range before coming to rest on the new snow. I was kind of surprised they made it that far. They sure grouped well though.
