[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 205503, member: 2740"] I would give it a very thorough cleaning first and look at the crown to see if there is any obvious damage. Are your action screws tight? Are your scope base and rings secure and is the scope proven to hold zero? Is the trigger pull light and crisp? Also, the 338 WM has fairly stiff recoil from the bench. Are you holding steady? I have found that a PAST pad on the shoulder does wonders for my groups with hard kickers. I would check those things first and it wouldn't hurt to have a local gunsmith give it a quick look over. I would bet that you probably don't need a new barrel. Best of luck, Sam [/QUOTE]
