After the gunsmith tightened the magazine tube up.
2 3/8" Group on a 5.5" round target
100 yards Bench Rest with 4X scope
Hornady 160 Grain 30-30 Bullet
Looks like the Gunsmith got it right. No feed problems either.

Got my 464 back from the Gunsmith. Said it is shooting ok for him. Back to the range to see if tightening up the magazine tube corrected my accuracy problem.
Bill
My Gunsmith recommended I don't use the Magazine Tube for as an attachment point for my upper sling swivel. He is concerned that the stress on the tube will loosen it and that it may affect accuracy as well.
Bill
Threw in the towel and took it back to my Gunsmith. He will also check to see why the accuracy has fallen off. I'll report back on how it works out.

They hang out in the Creek Bottoms.

Used the gun vise today and was averaging 2" groups at 50 yards. It was cold and windy so not ideal conditions. Looks like the rifle is capable of 1 1/2" to 2" groups if I do my part.
Bill
Let it lay for the coyotes and buzzards. In Oklahoma, they are not classified a game animal so there is no limit or season as well. They are doing so much damage to the areas that you are encouraged to kill them when you see them.
Bill
The ones I have eaten were pretty good barbecued. You have to eat the smaller ones. Big ole sows and boars are not fit to eat.
Was using the Hornady 160 grain FTX 30-30 bullet. It angled through him and did a lot of damage. Lung parts in the exit hole.
Bill
Killed this big boar about an hour from my house. Trying to thin them out so they don't run the deer off.
After hit at about 60 yards it walked 50 yards or so and collasped.
I'll try it one more time soon. Next time I will allow it to cool in between shots and will use my Gun Vise to eliminate any Cant problems.
The gunsmith fix for the cycling/timing problem works great. The rifle cycles very smooth now.

Re: Mossberg 464 30-30 Rear Sight
It's in a dove tail. Just take a punch and tap it out. Lay the rifle flat on soft surface and padded to do it. Then tap in new sight. Take your time and be careful not to nick the rifle's metal.
