[QUOTE="BigNate, post: 2238789, member: 301"] There are a few things to consider, but I'd be tempted to send it back. How does the bolt cycle empty? With a loaded cartridge? Does it cycle the same in and out of the stock? I personally would take off the scope and base and start over. Make sure the base sits absolutely flush. They can be lapped, or bedded, also be sure the screws are evenly torqued, and blue loctite used. Make sure the scope sits in the rings right. If you mark the scope you can remount it pretty easily in the same orientation to cut down on ammo usage to check zero. You can boresite for free. Set the gun in a stable cradle or sand bags with the bolt out. Look through the bore and pick an identifiable spot to put in the middle of the bore.( about 25 to 35 yards away is perfect) raise your head up and look through the scope without moving the gun. Center the reticle on the spot. Repeat until the spot is in the middle of bore and centered in the reticle. [/QUOTE]
