So i am basically new to the site. I have read alot of threads on here and recieved some great information from them. I am hoping ya'll can help me out here.
So i am sure you have all heard of the Rossi Trifecta.....
Well here i am holding a giant pile of donkey spunk , not a great big surprise. So I love the portability of this rifle but i do not love the performance. I bought it in a .22/20ga/.243. so the .22 is fairly accurate (not as nice as my 10/22 but for a portable plinker will do), the 20ga functions and despite the short barrel does not shoot high as i thought it might. It is the .243 that gives me fits. I went through the break in process on the barrel and despite my efforts with factory or handloads it shoots like crap.
I sent it back to the factory after 4 days and told them to fix it. It is considerably better but not remotely fixed. I got to looking down the bore and realized there are chatter marks running nearly the full length. I honestly dont know if lapping will take those down enough to make it a half decent shooter. I can only figure this has to be the issue. I am not looking to make it a tack driver but I have a hard time putting any confidence in anything that wont shoot at least 1.5 inches at 100 yards. OF course i demand better performance out of everything else i own and most shoot under an inch.
Any help I can get would be wonderful. And dont tell me to sell it because i am already on that ledge lol. Thanks for any help!
