Default RE: Apex is sighted and ready

Ok after 12 shots with Pyrodex Select and the POI kept changing i was about to junk the scope when i remembered i still had a half pound of pyrodex P left.

7 shots and it was holding all day long and kept shooting the same POI on a clean/dirty bore.

Man these rifles are like women, They throw a fit until you give them what they want

Last 3 shots i did were ok, about 2" @ 58 yards but those will shrink once i put it on the gun rest and go for it.

I saved the last conical so i can slug the bore, send it to BS and see what he can make me.

Couldn't help my self. I saw some plastic touching the barrel so out came the tape and file. A few minutes worth of work and its all clean and no longer touching. A piece of paper also slips easily between the barrel and stock with a tiny bit of drag.

I may add one thin aluminum spacer later on to just slightly float the barrel.



Some more pictures. I love that black on black look. Might just keep her and put a little money into a new scope and such.
