[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 985983, member: 10755"] Is this rifle bedded? Is there fore end pressure from the stock? Have you undone and re-torqued the action screws? Have you thoroughly cleaned inside the action, especially the lug recesses? Have you lapped the lugs? I would address all of the above in steps and see which one shows any improvement. The scope bases and rings may be a problem, but when the rifle consistently shoots large groups it's normally something else, like fore end pressure or bad recoil lug bedding. If the recoil lug is causing this, test by placing electrical tape under and behind, 1 it will free float the barrel, and 2, if any will fit behind the lug, it will keep the recoil lug tight. If there is room behind the lug, the only fix is glass bedding it. When you re-torque the action screws, make sure you pull the action rearwards in the stock so the recoil lug hits the bedding.
