[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 847066, member: 29281"] There are several possibilities: 1. The scope could be bad. Perhaps it was OK with 243 Winchester recoil but not with 7mm Remington Magnum recoil. If bad, at lease Leupold will fix it for free. 2. Check the rings and base for looseness. In a newly mounted scope, sometimes the base and/or rings will become loose after a bit of shooting. 3. It could be a bad barrel. Clean it and check the bore for roughness. Also check the crown. If it ends up being a bad barrel and it was made by Thompson/Center, they'll probably fix it for free. 4. Perhaps you need to tweak the load for that particular barrel. There can be marked accuracy differences with just a few grains of powder. 5. You don't mention the magnification of your scope or if it has an adjustment for parralax. With some scopes, if yoiu don't adjust for parallax, shots on paper can be erratic. Your problem has nothing to do with the barrel not being "run in." [/QUOTE]
