[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 301036, member: 2736"] I will make a feeble attempt to list the things in order that I would do. and if these things have already been done move on to the next item. 1=Check the chamber and the bore for fouling ( the chamber can sometimes get dirty and have an adverse effect on accuracy. 2=Check action screws for tightness. 3=check scope base and ring screws(and windage screws on some bases. 4=Look for stock contact or pressure at tip (Walnut stocks will move and push on the barrel. You can use a thin piece of cardboard or a dollar bill to see if it will slip between the barrel and the stock. 5=look closely at the crown for signs of wear or nicks and dings. 6=shoot 1 round and crank in 8 or 10 clicks on the windage first and fire 2 or 3 rounds (if the first round stays near the zero and the next one moves a couple of inches you have a scope problem. next go back to original setting and repeat the process with vertical adjustment. 7=If all of these things check out then it is time to look at the reloading components for changes or differences. In your post you said you did not break the rifle in when you bought it so if you cleaned it back to bare metal clean then now is the time to break it in. fouling will prevent the barrel from breaking in properly so shoot 1 round and clean and repeat until the bore feels greasy smooth. This could take 10 to 20 shots depending on how good your barrel is. I hope this helps you and if anyone has anything to add , Please Do !!!!! J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
