Hi all, I've been away for quite some time. I hope you all are doing fine !!!
The last time I shot my gun from the bench it like to have drove me nuts. Seemed like all of a sudden it started shooting like crap and it use to be quite a tack driver with several different brands of ammo. Red box Eley, Black box Eley, Midas M, Midas L, you could even shoot some dang good scores with some older Wolf I had. Then all of a sudden I could not even hold 1/2" groups with anything except for Midas L. It still shoots what I would call "good" but still not as well as it once did.
Now I may have missed something but I am about 99% sure that I have checked everything that there is to check and I can't find anything about this gun that would make it shoot bad. So I am down to the barrel. I think I am just going to replace it and see if the problem goes away. Maybe I have damaged it in some way.
My current barrel is a Lilja Sunburg Taper match grade barrel. My stock has been modified to fit this barrel perfectly so I would like to keep this contour. Now here are few questions I have for anyone who might know.
1. My barrel is about 7 - 8 years old just guessing. Has Lilja made any changes to these barrels since my barrel was new that have made them any better or worse in your opinion?
2. Would you recomend that I buy a barrel from someone else that could make me a drop in barrel with this same contour and if so who would it be? Pease give me names, website addresses, phone numbers, or other contact information.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me !!!
