[QUOTE="406pat, post: 317278, member: 13575"] I'd take a really hard look at EVERY screw associated with the scope. I had a similar problem with my .300 RUM.Thought I looked everything over and just when I though everything was tight, I was pushing on an Uncle Mikes scope cover and the scope base started to move. apparently it was just loose enough to wiggle a bit when firing but not when I was checking everything. I swear I torqued that thing 5 times to check it but it still came loose. I took every screw out and used some locktite on all of them (rings and bases) and groups dropped right back into .5-.3 where they were at first. Things like that are the reason I love tinkering with stuff. Soooo frustrating when you can't figure it out but when you finally get it you feel like Einstein cracking relativity!:) [/QUOTE]
