Copper fouling on a new rifle is normal, how many rounds did you fire before cleaning. What are you cleaning with, Hope your using a bore guide & one piece rod. Patch-Out Wipe -Out From MidwayUSA is a great bore cleaner, very little oder. For copper fouling I use JB bore Compound & kroil oil. Run a patch down the bore 3/4" from the end, shine a light in the barrel to see the copper. There is nothing wronge with your rifle,Get in alot or trigger time, enjoy the rifle & don't look for problems when ther aren't any. Try for that 1 hole 5 shot group, and get into reloading. Have fun, Be Safe Chris
