[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1013042, member: 22335"] No problem. At 500 rounds I doubt the barrel is shot out, which is why I asked. I would take the action out of the stock and look at the daub of material that they use to bed the lug. See if it is cracked or falling apart. I've seen it happen which is why I ask. Also look for evidence that the action might be moving or slipping in the stock. And, as noted, I would clean the barrel with a better cleaner and also try a known good scope. Personally I adjust to 2 pounds for the trigger, though that can be a bit tricky with a stock Vanguard trigger. Take a look at this thread: [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f37/howa-trigger-adjustment-how-52584/[/URL] If nothing else, I use a Dremel polishing wheel with Flitz on the mating surfaces of the trigger and sear to remove any coarseness and smooth it up. It's a trick that works very well. Somewhere in there you will find your accuracy back. I usually wait 3 minutes between shots, longer if it is warmer outside.
