Default RE: BARREL BREAK IN QUESTIONS

Just like "engine break in" different routines but basically 2 camps on the issue.

A) Do care, step softly and ease it into the real world
OR
B) Drive it like you stole it

Though both agree regular maint. and proper components are required after this intial stage. Basically do whatever you please just remember that once "break in" is finished a little care and attention after this period will make for a longer/happier relationship.

scope eye, to determine if your gun shoots different or better cleaned vs fouledjust take note to what your poi and group size was beforeand after its cleaned. If it takes a few shots to settle down then you will want to hunt on a slightly fouled bore. Not big deal as verifing POI should be part of your routine before hunting, etc.
