It's a good excuse to revisit that spot and look for deer activity while I'm there. I'm going for a drive into the forest again over the weekend with 5 different brands of ammo to give it another go. I just spent some time cycling it for a little while each day, and it's much smoother now. Working the bolt when I first got the rifle, they feel really rough. Will see how it shoots with the new scope first. I also noted the barrel isn't floated, but haven't done anything about that yet. The scope sits too high for my liking, but them's the breaks. A 3-9X40 but I also needed high mounts to be able to work the bolt. I didn't bother getting the faulty scope swapped over under warranty and just bought a new one. I stopped still and we looked at each other for 10 seconds before she gave a honk and ran off. Walking the 30 minutes back to where the car was parked, halfway, a Sambar Doe stood up 20m away from me looking at me through a bush. The scope adjustments weren't doing anything, so had a bit of fun for an hour and came home. I'm only about 20 minutes from Springvale range, but I like the bush so off to the forest I went, target in hand. I put most of this down to the $2 optics and couldn't even manage a 4' group at 10 yards.

One thing you need to do to properly mount a scope is loose the iron sights.

After re-assembly, I made sure all screws were tight, like real tight.

So next day I completely pulled the rifle apart, took to the stock with a sharp chisel and hacked away like a lunatic until the barrel was fully floated.

more on that later.ДЄnyway, first 50 shots I put through the rifle, as it came from the ship, it sprayed out like after a night on the curry. Mine had the scope arse about and the action screws where half tight, While your at it, throw the scope in the bin as it's next to useless. You may as well completely disassemble it to do this as the sweat shop workers who assemble these things aren't the best at it. Clean off all the preserving oil gunk they drown the gun in. The little JW is has a finish that fits the price Thought I'd do a quick review of what it took to get the thing shooting well to save anybody else who buys one some grief.ДЇirst, the thing is a Chinese copy of a ZKM451 (Brno model 1), but don't expect anywhere near the finished machining of the original Brno. It came as a package with Outdoor Optics 3-9x40mm scope. I bought one of those plastic stocked, black JW-15s with the 16' threaded barrel.
