[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 404881, member: 19372"] The good "smith" with a borescope is a good plan. He can examine the chamber, crown, and everything inbetween. I realize you said you bedded it. Does it pass the test with a dial indicator? Getting a rifle to shoot under an inch usually takes a combination of things starting with a pretty good barrel, action that is reasonably true, bolt that fits, stress free bedding job, well tuned ammo, and a capable shooter. In other words, a rifle that reliably shoots into an inch group has very little wrong with it to begin with so improvements are made by approaching perfection in the above categories. Based on your description, I'd start by getting a diagnosis from a good smith with a borescope. Fitch [/QUOTE]
