[QUOTE="JimFisher, post: 1923086, member: 58962"] A couple years ago I bought a new Wby 270 with composite stalk. First time out, it grouped 0.5 MOA with factory ammo. Decided to clean it thoroughly afterwards, and took it all apart. Next time out it wouldn't group better than 5 or 6 inches, same problem as you describe. After all the same troubleshooting steps, I finally called the Weatherby shop. Turns out, I hadn't properly torqued the trigger guard action screws for that type of stalk. 35 inch lbs rear, then same front screw, then up to 55 in/lbs rear, then 55 front. I did that and the rifle returned to 0.5 MOA with the same ammo. If you took the rifle apart to clean it, as stated, you might try re-torquing the action screws, as Scott also suggested. Good Luck!
