[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 601347, member: 30902"] Ok bear with me here and I promise no insult is intended. First problem is that you are a complete novice shooter and most of us are not, so we speak something of a different language. No amount of stock problems unless it's SEVERELY warped could put enough pressure on the barrel to cause 2-4 feet of spread at less than probably 800yards. So let's start the easy way. Take it to a gunsmith, get recommendations on a good one in your area. One that has a shooting range associated with his business would be great. Get him to check to see if it's floated. The bolts I was talking about are the bolts that secure the action to the stock, not the bolt that is part of the action. If those bolts are loose or torqued unevenly it can cause a lot of problems. Proper floating and bedding can work miracles. I'd also suggest getting the gunsmith to look at the bore and crown and see what kind of shape each of them are in. With one this old there's always a possibility it looks like a rusty old sewer pipe inside and if that's the case nothing short of a new barrel is going to make it shoot right. Also have him check the scope and mounts. We've got to start off knowing you have equipment that is in good shape and functioning properly before we can begin to help you with your shooting. Seriously you sound like someone who would really benefit from some formal shooting instruction. Get the equipment checked out and have someone look at your shooting technique and my bet is we can do a lot to help you from there. [/QUOTE]
