[QUOTE="Dhammer, post: 1876066, member: 77995"] I had/have same issue with my son's 270 Xbolt. I have tired different ammo, scope, rings, etc. I have lost count of how many times I have torqued and re torqued everything. I had barrel scoped by a smith. Not fouled or shot out. Browning's bedding job was awful. Smith thinks it's related to the bedding. There was only two very small contact points and my guess the action isn't fitting into those two spots anymore but sitting on top and moving under recoil. My daughter has the Xbolt HCS in 6.5 Creedmoor and her bedding job is completely different than the 270's. Not great but acceptable. I've been on fence to just replace the stock or grind out the bedding and let the smith redo it. Course it all happened three weeks before the kids elk hunt. It went from a track driving machine to a scatter gun. [/QUOTE]
