My 170B 35 Remington, is proving to be quite a nice little rifle. I mounted a very nice Bausch &Lomb 1.5x6 scope, and accuracy is really quite something. My reloads are hugging an inch for 3 rounds at 100 yards. Not bad for a converted shotgun design!
Once I got a few things worked out, her reliability has been 100%. Whew!
Despite a light barrel, she doesn't vertically string when the barrel warms up. Hard to get a 35 Remington barrel hot. Copper fouling remains extremely light. Barely a trace in fact.
Fired cases are in terrific shape. 13 firings and hasn't touched the trimmer yet.
Her trigger is smoothing up a bit, but I may have some work done on it.
Although I had some reservations about my Savage unicorn, I'm glad I got her. Hopefully , things will continue to improve. Just a matter of getting used to one another.
