Trying to set one up for another shooter. Tried for days to clean the barrel. After 5 hours work and a call to Remington, they want the rifle back to re-barrel it.

My first three shots sandbagged for groups at 100 yards. The varnish came out the barrel and I see no issues with the bore, it shoots well. Not sure why the varnished "packing grease" would differ in your barrel from mine, but I appear to have a good barrel, that is not finicky, is easy to load, and shoots consistent groups. My only negative is the height combination for the fixed sights. Have an old "new in box" Lyman 57 that I tried, and am tempted, but believe I'd be happier with a more compact receiver sight for hunting. Could not locate any spare rear bases at the shop, so one was placed on order. When it comes in, the bottom of the Williams and the top of the base will be machined flat to mate and mount at the corrected height. If that doesn't work out as I'd like, will call buddy in TX and have him send me up one of his sights.
