Thanks S1,
The Lightforce 20 MOA tapered scope base is glued to the action with blue loctite. Leupold PRW rings are still tight.
Suppose it could be the scope, it is a 30mm Leupold 6.5x20 50 mm LRT, with side focus.
This would explain a lot. This rifle has never shot as well as expected. Could have been the scope all along. It is the only scope I have ever had on this rifle.
Any way to test the scope without taking it off?
