2011 question
So I am looking at getting a 2011 in the future. and I am wondering what would be the best barrel length that I should look for when looking at a 2011? Is it best to get a 4 inch, 4.25 inch, 4.5 inch, or a 5 inch?
Edit: I’d like to have it for open carry situations, range fun, and competitions.
Looking for someone who could tell me a thing or two about my M1897
This Winchester M1897 is my first firearm, i have always been captivated by historical weapons and this was at the top of my list. It’s got some interesting stampings, a pretty modern replacement stock, and i was wondering if anyone here would be able to tell me more about this weapon’s history, or could point me to a resource. As far as I have been able to figure out is that the receiver was made in Jan. 1918, but I’m not entirely sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Issues with rifle accuracy
Small issue with CVA Cascade .308 this rifle has approx 600 rounds through it, bought it brand new. It was punching 1” groups at 150 yards, later that year I took down 2 deer with it and after that I could not hit a paper target at 50 yards.
Originally I was using Sig Sauer buckmaster scope and CVLIFE precision rings.
I found 1 of 2 action screws was loose, took it all apart cleaned it and reassembled with torque specs, batter but still punching 5” groups at 50 yards.
Got a new scope Leupold vx3hd, Leupold rings, and still not grouping well. Last attepmt I put the CVLIFE rings back on since they did well on the previous 600 rounds and it’s still punching 4” groups at 50 yards. What am I missing? I took everything apart and cleaned everything. Is it possible something wrong with rifle? The muzzle doesn’t have crowing, from the beginning I had a muzzle break on the rifle and then switched to suppressor. I’ve also tried to change the suppressor vs muzzle break vs nothing at all and nothing changed in accuracy. Could it be something with the rifle?
