    That's worse than my sporter 303 with open sights.
    No way it should shoot that bad with factory ammo.
    your mate should have taken it back when it was new.

    Take it to a decent Gunsmith & ask them to give it the once over.

    It sounds like it has bigger problems than fire lapping with Final Finish will fix.
    Overkill is underated !!!

    I read somewhere once that firelapping was the best thing out for barrel suppliers.

    If it is bad Mal, you should be able to see coppering at the muzzle. Look at it in direct sunlight or use a torch to help if needed.

    Tell him to get rid of it, he doesn't need it anyway, he neck shoots everything with his bushpig anyway
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    If its a Conquest, I'd seriously be looking at fitting another scope to check - I've seen several conquests that were just crap!

    Give the 1st 12" of barrel a scrub with JB bore paste..
    Wrap a patch around a brush and give it a good wank
    If its black as hell, then you got a bunch more work to do.
    ADI powders especially create more carbon fouling that copper in most of my guns
