[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2322448, member: 71817"] I've seen several things cause a single flyer out of every string. First I Eliminate me. Let someone else fire it, see if they get the same results. Untorqued or over torqued action screws. Loose/untorqued scope base screws. Loose/untorqued scope ring screws. Defective scope. Last thing to try is to swap in ANY scope you have to see if it changes things. I've had new scopes out of the box with problems. Try single feeding your rounds, don't use the magazine. Next I'd completely remove the bipod for a trial. Keep everything away from the barrel during firing. What type of Chronograph are you using? I've seen magnetospeeds cause strange things on thin barrels. Is the flyer always the same shot in the string? Like always the last shot? Is this old brass or new brass? Is the flyer always off to the right a similar amount 2moa? If it is this should be fairly easy for you to nail down. It will have to be something mechanical, changing with recoil or heat. Does the barrel heat up quickly? Do you only see this when the barrel is warm? Is the flyer always the same shot in the string? Like always the last shot? Is the flyer always off to the right a similar amount 2moa? Shooting a bug hole then a flyer is frustrating but it will be fixed. This should be fairly easy for you to nail down. [/QUOTE]
