[QUOTE="CTK, post: 1386656, member: 103842"] Make sure your barrel is not contacting the scope in a spot or two. Obviously scope mounts and action screws need to be tight. Like the comment about letting the rifle cool. I cannot shoot an ultralight rifle worth a flip. How you hold it on the bench matters. I would handload prior to bedding. Bedding will not hurt it just may not help much with the factory loads. I was able to get my son's Savage Axis Youth to shoot MOA with handloads. I used IMR 4895 and 120 Ballistic Tips. [/QUOTE]
