I rechambered my Marlin 30TK myself. Not difficult at all. I bought a reamer from Midway and resold it on Ebay when I was done with it. In fact, a fellow forum member bought it. Without pushing things to the extreme, I get 2500 fps with 150 gr. Speers and RL-15. About 150 fps more than my best load ...

If there is any way you can swing it, you should try and do a 15 year, or at most a 20 year note.

First thing I would do is take off those ridiculous see-through mounts and install a set of regular low weaver mounts. The closer the scope is to the bore the better off you'll be, for a number of reasons. If it still won't adjust to your liking, swap scopes around.

The old timers used to call it weasel-piss.

It was not designed as a lubricant. Most of it evaporates in a day or two, leaving your metal dry. There are a lot of better choices for firearms.
