I took my new Scout apart and found that it was nicely greased from the factory. I added some grease to the bolt and the op rod. I used Tony Ben's videos as a good starting point. First real post from a first time owner! Now all I need to do is to actually shoot it!
Enjoy the shooting indeed! Also huge shoutout to TonyBen for the fantastic greasing/cleaning guide. I have used them as well and they are an invaluable resource.
The Tony videos are great indeed! I would post a pic, bit I don't know how to yet, and mine is just a basic Scout in wood, so nothing special. Special to me for sure!
Received 500 rounds of 147g jacketed ammo in the mail. I ordered the PMC bronze .308. This ammo has good reviews and should work just fine for the 100 - 150 yard ranges around here.
Plus an order of Tubbs finishing ammo is on the way. The range is calling me!
To the OP, I think you're friend gave you a pretty good deal at $1500. I couldn't find any cheaper online for a walnut stock. I bought the same one back in November, she is a great rifle. enjoy
That's a real beauty. Lots of X ring groups coming up.
