[QUOTE="stirner, post: 1551971, member: 44287"] In addition to my first post, you can try the mechaical portion of accuracy. First, remove the receiver screws, leave the bolt in the receiver, and grasp the rifle such that your thumbs are directly above the screw holes. Apply alternating pressure with each hand. If the rifle rocks up and down, you have a pressure point on the receiver that must be identified and removed. I'm not familiar with the stock on that rifle, but if the receiver is not fully bedded, it wouldn't hurt to do so. Devcon is best. Is the scope on tight? Is the barrel free floated? How about your ammo? Is your case prep and loading procedures adeqaute? Because your problem is consistently with the last two shots, I believe you have a heat problem, or shooting routine problem. More the latter than the former. [/QUOTE]
