[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 705250, member: 5219"] I feel your pain. Not much fun trying to figure out what changed. There is a checklist you should go through. I swear sometimes we all forget one or more so if I don't mention a few, guys please add to it. I have no idea of your knowledge so just typing down things to consider. Might be good for others to read in future. You didn't mention your cleaning proceedure. Maybe you have a copper buildup? Action screws tight after a range session I have found they can loosen up especially after a recent disassembly which Browning might have done. scope bases and rings tight scope ring caps tight Crown in good condition bolt face clean Did you take it apart after Browning returned it? Not a bad idea to look for anomolies. Sometimes stuff can get into spaces like the recoil lug area. Is there a blind hole for either action screw? If so inspect to be certain no material is in bottom of hole which will give you a false tightness Is the front scope ring base machine screw contacting the threads of the barrel? This will give another false tightness. Can you test the scope on a sound rifle? IMO no need to use the Tubbs treatment. Please report back anything you discovered. [/QUOTE]
