[QUOTE="Steven S., post: 1488754, member: 104854"] I had a similar experience. I was shooting a two inch group at 300 yards. Came back the next day and was all over the paper. Six, eight or even more inches off center. All screws were tight, action screws, scope base screws ,scope ring screws, everything was as it should be. The scope was working flawlessly. Shooting from the same platform as the prior day. I was ready to pull my hair out. Now, don't laugh at me but a friend recommended a very thorough cleaning of the barrel which might get me back on target. That was just the ticket. Right back on target. These large calibers burn an incredible amount of powder and leave a corresponding amount of residue. Clean the hell out of that barrel and give it another try. I know that a barrel should be cleaned after every use but one time or another we've all been guilty of just wiping the gun down and putting it back in the safe. Can be easy to lose track of rounds fired over time. [/QUOTE]
