[QUOTE="Gene, post: 432430, member: 7402"] First, check the action screws, scope mount and the ring screws for tightness. Do not overtighten them. Is the scope of good quality? Next, slide a dollar bill between the barrel and stock. Any binding? If so, I bet that is your problem. Rasp out the high spots until they do not touch. You can wrap sandpaper around an old flashlight battery to do this. Clean the bore thoroughly. How is your bench set up? Are you using solid front and rear rests? The barrel should never touch a sand bag. Hold the rifle the same every shot. Same technique each shot. Five shots should not overheat any barrel. For load testing, I often fire 10 shots in ten minutes before allowing my barrel to cool somewhat. But remember that first shot from a cold barrel is the one you need to hit dead on. [/QUOTE]
