I make an educated decision. I find the problem. Many ways to do this.
I am fortunate enough to know a good gunsmith, I live close too. Its nice having spare scopes around that you can trust. Simple stuff first, good crowns, even pressure on lugs, borescoping. There is always a reason why a gun is a lemon. Just find out why.
Don't have to spend days on the internet getting equal crummy opinions from folks who did the same thing you did feeding off "friends experience".
