[QUOTE="wbm, post: 766470, member: 14158"] If I understand you correctly, when you shoot the rifle with a cold barrel it takes two shots before it will shoot where you set your point of impact from the previous shooting session. I had an AR-15 that drove me crazy doing that. 1.5"-2.0" high left every time. Checked and rechecked everything. Tried different ammunition. Did everything I knew to do but nothing helped. Finally I replaced the scope I had been using with another and guess what....it was the scope all along. That scope was put on a bolt action rifle and it began to do the same thing the AR was doing. If you have checked all the usual stuff, base screws, ring screws, stock bolts, barrel free floated etc. etc. then I would change scopes and see what happens. Another thing is do not clean between each shooting session unless the rifle is so dirty your accuracy begins to fall off. Might try WD-40 after the rain next time....displaces moisture big time! Better than oil. [/QUOTE]
