    Have you got a long straight edge, you can use a length of string pulled tight. lay rifle down and place straight edge along centre of barrel. If it starts to work its way to the top of the action, your barrel is drooping. In a gun shop years ago and a dad and son came in and complained they could zero it. The droop was so obvious just by being further away from it and looking at it

    You can also use a straight edge on the internal bottom half of the mounts to see if the steel edge runs flat or if it steps or if it pitches away. Both should be flat and no gaps on either ring.

    Banana barrels should be easier to spot
    In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
    To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
