Thread: First rifle

I just figure if I am going to the range to sight it in, I am going to use a whole packet anyway (Not much point going to the effort of traveling to the range, then only firing a few shots....) so I use that time to get familiar / comfortable shooting the rifle and run through the break in at the same time (and using the same shots) for sighting in.

And as @7x64 stated, quite correctly, get some decent cleaning gear and learn to use it properly.

As for the old debate that run in makes the barrel last longer, well if you have he budget to wear out a barrel (ammunition costs) then a replacement rifle is probably well with in budget and much more fun.....
