Go to fiberglass nz ithink it is and get some carbon thread. A few wraps and epoxy resin not polyester. You will need to get rid of that paint and try to rough it up a bit to get some bite into it

1-2" groups is a good start. Well done. I think the next step for you is to take the guesswork out of shooting technique and visit a local centrefire (NZDA etc) rifle club. When there tell them...

Just for a bit of context, this is a 5 shot group I shot the other day with factory ammo. Would have been 30-45 seconds at the most. Once I’m comfortable I just shoot, no mucking around for any...
