ok i am new at this so please excuse my ignorance.. i have had my omega at the range three times now and it seems like tha groups get tighter after 3-4 shots i watched the tc video that came with my gun and have been swabbing between shots and then using bore butter right before i put it up but my gun seems to like a little fouling in the barrel was wondering what to do when it comes time to hunt any suggestions????
I first want you to know that I am not trying to start an arguement.. BUT the best place for that Bore Butter and your Omega.. I like to put the Bore Butter in the trash can. It seems to do the most good there. Sorry but I do not like the stuff, especially in inline rifles.
I wonder if you're not after 3-4 shots finally shooting that Bore Butter out of the barrel?
Personally I would clean the rifle like normal. I would then cost the inside of the bore with a quality gun oil like Birchwood Casey Sheath or Rem Oil with Teflon... Before I shoot, take a patch, and wet it with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol from Wal Mart... 91%) and swab the barrel. That will remove any oil in the bore. Then a couple of dry patches. After that pop two primers through the rifle. Now hit the range. Shoot your first shot on a clean barrel. You now can hunt all day, even all week, if you do not shoot your rifle off. After you shoot swab the barrel with Windex or a 50/50 mix of alcohol and car windshield washer fluid. A couple dry patches again, then load and shoot again.
See if the accuracy does not start off right away.
Then again, if you like Bore Butter and want to smear that in your rifle. Be sure to take patches and a good solvent and try and remove as much of it as you can before loading. Again, some dry patches, then load and shoot...
Hope that helps.
