Hello,out there
Two years ago,I bought a used Wincheter '94 in 30/30 caliber. It had a cheap Bushnell scope but shot Great. I gota 3 shot,1 inch group,and several more around 1 1/2 inch. I also got a 100 Yd instant kill on a Whitetail.
I treated the little gun to a new Leupold 1-4 scope. I also got a new Williams offset mount.
Now,I got trouble. average horozontal dispersion is about 3/4 inch,average vertical is about 3 inches,at 50 yards.
I only single-load,and now I hold the fore end with my hand (over the front rest).
I stripped the gun and super cleaned and relieved some metal on the magazine to free it up. In the process,I sprung the upper muzzle band,so I cannot replace the screw. I think that this would be OK. Is that so?
I also replaced the suspect scope with a tried and true Weaver,to no avail.
Although I cannot see how,I wonder if the Williams mount is the culprit. Is there a test for that? other then replacing it?
It's been two years;sometimes the thing shoots good. I got another deer with it this past year,too.
Last week,I got a 4 shot diamond shaped group,with an ES of 5/8 inch at 50 yrds from sitting.
I would greatly appreciate ANY suggestions.
Thanks,
Frank
