[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1228994, member: 5219"] I would think the problem would be the direct result of the work done. It was recrowned and disassembled. Any other work? Perhaps the front scope base screw got mixed up so a longer one was placed there. It could bottom out on the threads of the barrel causing the base to remain loose. The crown MAY look good but still be poor. Can you get to a bore scope for a careful inspection? I have seen this on many occasions with my borescope. I would also remove the rifle from the stock and reinstall. Perhaps there is some foreign material in the inletting or the mag box is binding. I can't believe that a load that shot well would suddenly go sour just because the barrel was shortened. [/QUOTE]
