[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 700620, member: 5219"] You have tried many combinations of components. I feel strongly there is something wrong with the rifle. Seeing you are new to rifles you might want to take it to someone who really knows them. I often help others and it is amazing the strange problems that some rifles can have. The two most recent rifles I worked with had some amazing combinations of issues. Many of these problems could not be seen except with a bore scope. I'll list the combined problems. Both rifle crowns had to be redone A Mark V weatherby has a factory chamber cut crooked! Can see different length lands in the throat area indicating the reamer was not inline with the bore. Bedding material in bottom of blind front action screw hole causing a false tightness of front action screw so action was able to shift around Barrel not completely floated, making minor contact midway pilar bedded rifle's bedding receded enough that the pilar was higher causing some strange double grouping Bore in one was dirty but didn't show fouling except with borescope. Some serious scrubbing with IOOSO removed it Forward front scope base screw was making contact with barrel threads preventing it from being properly tightened. Some light grinding on end of screw was all it took. Bolt face was opened up to magnum dimensions BUT not large enough. Caused hard bolt lift after firing. As you can read there are plenty of issues that might get overlooked by someone new to rifles. [/QUOTE]
