This subject has always been interesting whenever it comes up. I see alot of different ideas as to how each person feels about the way he breaks the Gun in, I did kinda similar, cleaned, sighted the scope, cleaned sighted the scope... etc,, I didnt go to the lengths that some of you competition shooters did, but after all, it was just a $500 Coyote gun.. Its great to read all the different styles of break in..
