[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2590922, member: 29241"] Probably not your problem but several years ago a gunsmith told me that someone brought him a 22-250 that was keyholing and even missing the 100 yd target. The gun was pristine condition on the outside. The gunsmith cleaned the bore and actual pieces of rust came out. The barrel was then so pitted that it was worthless. The problem had been the rust was damaging the bullet to the point of it tumbling and occasionally flying apart due to the deep gouging in the jacket. Loose screws or bad scope would not make a bullet fly apart or tumble in flight. I have shot a rifle that the action screws were finger tight and the scope was loose on the bases and it would still shoot under a foot. There must be something so wrong with your set up that it should be easy to track down. [/QUOTE]
