[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 938061, member: 5219"] An alternative is to put the scope on a rifle that is a good shooter. I have picatinny rails on most of my rifles. When I have any doubt about a scope it gets put on my super accurate 308 for some tests. You might want to find out who made the bedding block and get a torque spec from them. Sometimes a specific torque can help. Here is a checklist for you to go through. I have had many of these issues over the years. I keep this list in my documents and refer to it often. It is really easy to forget a few of them: Check any blind action screw hole for bedding material or screw bottoming out (false tightness) leupold windage style base windage screws not tight Ruger rings not in bases Front base's screw touching threads of barrel. Imperfection in crown action screw holes in stock too small, drill larger so sides of action screw won't touch Bolt handle touching stock Mag box must not bind in stock Recoil lug making contact in bottom of bedded slot causing the action to sit off bedding Front of trigger group must not touch stock Trigger guard must not touch trigger Uneven bedding--- tightening one action screw to see if the action pulls up at other end. I'd bet some posters can come up with more [/QUOTE]
