Default RE: sighting in a 30-06

I bought the exact same package a while ago. It shot well out of the box but it shot better after a couple of boxes. Make sure you burnish your barrel: fire a couple of shots, clean it and repeat the procedure for about 1 box. But maybe it is me getting use to the rifle. I noticed the rifle shot really dirty for the first box but now it is relatively clean.

The scope mount / rings are not great. On my package, I had rings with only 2 screws. One screw at the bottom to tighten the ring to the mount and 1 screw at the top to tighten the scope. Not very good. I ended up replacing the mount/rings and scope. I have now a 2 piece Leupold mount and standard rings (make sure you use the extended ring otherwise you will have too much eye relief on the 111).

One more point, the synthetic stock can easily bend if you use the hasty sling as a shooting aid. Make sure you do not pull too hard on the sling.

Hope this help.
