My buddy and I where out target shooting this past weekend. He's got a 7mm stainless Ruger. Has grouping was not that good at all. 4 inches a 100 yards at best. When I asked him when he cleaned it last he said, wait for it..."NEVER" The gun is, i'm guessing 10 to 12 years old. probably not a lot of shots put down the pipe. 100 to 200 rnds max. Anyways, does the fact that this gun sat for all these year call for some sort of super scrub down. I was going to let the barrel soak overnight with some hoppes #9 or shooters choice. Then use the bronze brush and run the patches through it and see how it goes. Any other suggestions.
I would love to buy this gun of him but he keeps thinking he might one day go hunting. The other thing is could there be permanent damage by letting it sit so long with out being cleaned. Thanks.
