[QUOTE="Carl McCants, post: 1755964, member: 109357"] I would clean the barrel. Certainly check to make sure everything is tightened down good. It is important to use a torque wrench so you don't over tighten, but if you use the allen key, tighten as much as you can holding the short side of the key ( as opposed to the long side that gives you more leverage), this keeps you from over tightening. Try to "twist" the scope side ways to see if you have any movement. Do the same with the stock to barreled action. Any "play" will throw you off. Make sure the barrel isn't pressed against part of the stock. But, absolutely clean the rifle. People get carried away with barrel break in, I don't think you need to "shoot-clean, shoot-clean, every few rounds. But starting with a clean barrel is important. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
