[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1197287, member: 77249"] As suggested scope bases and rings could be the problem. That would be the first thing to get seated and torqued to specs. This may be the cure. You never mentioned when the gun was cleaned in the order of shooting. Some hammer forged barrels has rough areas that will grab jacket material and as you shoot it just goes wondering. Clean the barrel very clean and then shoot it letting the barrel cool between shots. After the first fowling shot it should settle to one point and stay there. If it shoots a couple rounds at point of aim then start drifting around may be build up in the barrel. Stop and clean and try again. If it starts drifting after a couple shot it make take some lap work on the barrel to get the accuracy and consistency you want. Good Luck in finding the problem. [/QUOTE]
