[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 867534, member: 52437"] if it groups one day and not the next something is definitely wrong. Some guys on here could definitely offer some answers, but the most obvious would be... are you certain your scope, rings, bases are all snug? Scope holding zero or could it be broken? Then check action bolts to make sure they are tightened properly. I would start at like 25-30 inch/pounds front and back and make small increasing increments(5in/lb) and see if your groups change. Action bolt torque CAN make a difference on poorly bedded rifles. If none of this works the rifle may need a bedding job. I doubt the barrel or chamber are the cause, but this would be the last place to check (unless of course you see some flaws in the rifling/crown) My factory browning X-bolt was doing the same thing as yours and it turned out the scope was bad wouldnt hold zero...but before I figured out to check that I must have blown 200+ dollars on ammo trying to find a good factory load.
