I got the .260 shooting real good now.....
If you say that, I can't imagine how well it must shoot! That day you came up, that thing was amazing....it was the best shooting gun we had that day at 400yds.
Being a SSK barrel would make me think the problem would be something else then. I'd swap hinge pins then frames and see what happens.
Missed a bear and heading into the hospital...ouch. Hopefully missing the bear has nothing to do with the hospital stay!!
You still have property near Clintonville?
