[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1720670, member: 3728"] I would order a new barrel immediately, I have been shooting Benchrest and hunting rifles for 50 years and have never seen this kind of thing. I have shot Remingtons and custom rifles. First shot after cleaning maybe 1/2" out of the group, but that is about all. Custom barrels shoot to within 3/8" or tighter from point of aim. I suspect that the shooter may settle down after some shooting, but three cups of coffee prior to going to the range can jack a guy up. When ever a barrel starts acting squirly, time for a new barrel. Barrel makers are subject to what ever the foundry sends them in terms of alloy mix in the barrels. Also, inclusions in the steel often are never spotted with a bore scope. Heat treat on barrel blanks can be helter skelter, but rarely does it come into play with custom barrel makers. Brux, Bartlein, Krieger, Shilen, Hart, Lilja, Broughton, ABC, Meuller, all make top drawer barrels. Point being, get something that you can have confidence in. [/QUOTE]
