Anyone ever break in a rifle with Tubbs final finish. Bore lapping and maintenance bullets? Work ? Don't work?

Did you get a chance to check out the Ben Avery range while you were there? Unbelievable facility--probably going to do volunteer range master work next winter--

I have never used that method but I have used Speedy Gonzalez's method and am very happy with the results.

It is very similar to others I have used but a bit easier since it's well laid out.

Some of you may recognize Big Stick from some other forums. He knows what he's doing, even if it may be unorthodox.

LOL, not the info I am looking for. And I don't think I will be doing what he did with my new Sako 85. Yes I will be doing plenty off the bench. Looking to improve groups and precision. Not just hit a car door at 500 yards. My cousin just rest shoots and he swears by it. I have just never done it. Improved MOA and ease of cleaning or running patches through is what I hear. I reload and shoot for sub MOA groups. I did not do this with my 223, and I have some loads I get 5 shot groups in a dime at 100 yards. But that is a match grade Wilson heavy barrel though. I guess I feel the Sako should be a shooter too, but if it helped at all in the least I would try it. Still might. Not making up my mind till I get an optic on it LOL. Cant decide on that either.

Well my old man got a new rock river 223 today as well. And he has the same barrel as my 223, a Wilson match grade barrel. He has been listening to my cousin as well. Hes a little smarter, he called the rock river folks. They said what would you want to do that for? We did it. Your ready to shoot.
So they told him "they" did the bore lapping, they break them in and shoot them.:thumbsup: So I will call Sako tomorrow and see if they do similar, or if they have a recommendation. I also hear if you have an old gun or bad copper fouling this can bring them back to life and clean that out. I will report back what Sako says. Scored a deal on a scope today so nearing fun time.
