[QUOTE="montanaio17, post: 534424, member: 26195"] Thanks for the help. Here is everything I have done with the gun. When I first got the gun I had to replace the ejector with a sako ejector. I had it glass bedded and trigger job. It shot great for several years. I was shooting out to 1000 yards on a metal target. Last year the accuracy went away plus 1.5 groups where it used to shoot .5 or better at 100 yards. Took the gun in and was advised the throat was burnt. The gunsmith set it back and said to try it. It shot great again for a while and then became inconsistant again. Had the smith replace the barrel with a Shilen barrel. Cold bore shot is always over an inch high then it will settle down and start grouping decent with the best loads. I hunt and like to target shoot. I want a gun that shoots consistant and not have to always adjust the first shot. I do reload and that is the first thing I thought was wrong. I bought new dies and brass tried different bullets and different powders. I don't think it would be the problem, I believe it is the gun. I do reload for a friend and no problems. I know you don't always get good barrels but is there any thing I am missing. I use a leupold scope that I have used on other guns with no problems. I know this is long but I would like to figure out my options. I know I may have to get another barrel but would rather try and make it work. I will try the above advice also. Thanks [/QUOTE]
