About every muzzleloader I have had and thats been 4 have changed POI at 100yards and 150yards after taking out of the stocks and cleaning them. Does anyone else see this. I have a T/C hawken, Knight disc elite, knight wolverine, and traditions sidelock. I can't seem to keep them assembled (in stock) and get a good cleaning. The POI change is only like 2"-3", but its more than I want.
Yes. That's the reason my stocks get removed only after the season is over. The only guns that don't get that treatment are a sidelock and my ML shotgun. After the season is over I'll remove the stocks and clean them fully and oil them well. After another 6 months (early summer) I'll do it again and that's it until after the season. I just see no reason to risk it. Just another reason I love stainless steel. I haven't had a problem yet with this method.
