[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 898937, member: 12995"] I did the same thing with my A-Bolt II 7mm RM with the BOSS on it... I would hear the "click" of him locking the hammer back, then I'd wait 3 seconds then fire (I had his shooting pattern figured out by this time). I'm guessing he took his break from shooting once I let loose about 3 3-shot groups in a row, everytime he pulled his trigger. :D Bad news man...I think either the scope has finally shook the crosshairs loose, or the throat is finally starting to erode in my A-Bolt II......Either way it's not gonna be cheap to fix. Sad part is, it will be cheaper to replace the barrel and stock, then it will be to buy a new scope. LOL It's still shooting about 1 MOA, but once I have a 1/2 MOA rifle shooting 1 MOA at it's best...That's time to rebarrel. It's more than capable of killing deer out to 500 yards even shooting MOA, but I'd feel better with a rebarrel and a custom job shooting 1/8-1/4 MOA. :D I'm thinking buy a new bolt head (standard) and mag box and convert it to a heavy-barreled .280 Ackley Improved. Keeping my mag bolt head, incase I ever want to convert it back to a magnum caliber. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
