After cutting the crown and "chamber" end on the new barrel for my wife's Thomas rifle (serial 0012) I did the clocking of the barrel to find top dead center, then I dialed the scope and fired a 5 shot group for center on the NRA 10/5 Meter targets that we use for practice indoors at 48 feet. This rifle shoots well with JSB diabolo 8.44 grain pellets, and a Lothar Walther choked 12 groove 1:18 twist barrel just shy of 24". 11 degree target crown with a 45 degree chamfer just at the muzzle.
