[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 564886, member: 21068"] Just an update, I sent the gun back, and the smith tested again with his proven scope and 3 scope rings (initial thoughts were that the scope was possibly slipping in the rings due to magnum recoil/muzzle break ect on a 9# rifle). He tested with a few different loads also. His results were unimpressive for the most part, and he's concluded that it's a barrel issue. He believes the barrel is very sensitive to temp changes and it needs to be replaced. Hopefully Lilja will stand behind this and send him a good replacement, if not; we'll be putting another brand of barrel on this iron. [/QUOTE]
