I have a very nice looking Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55, the only problem is that it doesn't shoot well. I get dinner plate sized groups at 75 yards. According to the metal disk on the stock the barrel is in condition 3 and the rifle has been stamped with 3 crowns behind the trigger guard which I believe indicates that it has been rebarreled 3 times. Should I have this rifle rebarreled again? If I rebarrel what kind of accuracy should I expect??
Note that when I clean the bore all the patches come out green from copper fouling and when I look down the bore it is dark and not shiny. I clean with #9 on a bronze brush followed by a cloth patch over the brush. I have spent many many hours scrubbing the bore with no success.
