[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 361692, member: 17128"] Doesn't sound like a scope problem to me either. Sounds like a barreled action problem. Maybe something really strange like the barrel not in line with the bolt. I had a Winny that was like that. Never would make nice groups until the barrel was warm to hot. No repeatable shots, just 2" groups for the first three. Then the rifle would settle down and shoot under an inch until the barrel was too hot to touch. :) Seems the action was not drilled and threaded centered-on and in-line with the bolt. So the barrel was at a little angle to the receiver. Best of luck with that. [/QUOTE]
