[QUOTE="Merica, post: 1534011, member: 108123"] I’m new to the forum and collectively it would seem that there are many hundreds of years of experience from the members here, so I’m much sure how much more value I could add to this thread. Like others have said, make sure you work from least time/labor/cost intensive fixes to the most. I’ve had a few rifles that couldn’t group where the rings were the culprit, others where it was the scope. Make sure that your optic is mounted properly and your rings are torqued/loctited. I’ve had multiple rings loosen themselves up causing my groups to open up and walk. I’ve also had a few quality scopes (leupold vxiii/Nikon buck masters) that broke internally. Both were warrantied with no issues, but I say that to show you that even the bigger names can have issues, especially with thousands of scopes being sold each year. Once you know that your optics are solidly mounted (lapped rings and a level reticle help too) it might save you time and money if that helps tighten things up before you bed your action or change your barrel.
