[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 1878639, member: 68758"] I don't see a chambering issue affecting "windage". "Accuracy", absolutely... But if the rifle puts the boolits in a tight group- that's not an accuracy, or chambering issue IMO. Could be the scope is mounted off-axis of the bore. If so, you end up with a perpetual problem where the "zero" is different at any range where line of sight, and bore axis intersect. Could be a bad barrel- bore is angled off the centerline at the muzzle. Could also be a defective scope, right? Rule out the easiest stuff first. Swap the optic, or test it on another rifle of known accuracy. If it's not the optic, I'd punt. New build, who- and why- are they selling it? In any case- the rifle should go back to Proof to get checked out. The recent phenom of cheap borescopes creates too much hyperventilation. I've seen barrels that looked like total shiznit that shot lights out. Forget the borescope, and focus on where the rifle puts the bullets on the target. [/QUOTE]
