[QUOTE="TNRifleman, post: 5065613, member: 16556"] DO a quick check of the crown as well to see if it may have a burr. Take a q tip, and rub it inside the top of the barrel. It should go around without pull any of the q tip off. Likely not an issue but worth a quick check. Here are some other things to double check. 1. Verify action screw torque to Ruger's specs. Try 55 inch lbs but don’t assume it is correctly torqued for the best accuracy. 2. Thread lock the scope mount screws. Most common accuracy resolve. 3. Verify scope rings are torque to rail and are forward against pic slots. 4. Verify the scope is tracking correctly. Check in another rifle or try another scope on your rifle. 5. Check for barrel free float to the lug. Anywhere the barrel touches the stock could affect harmonics/accuracy. Sanding out channel and bedding will help 9. Ammo; try at least a few different manufacturers and bullet weights 10. Clean all copper fouling out of bore then shoot it dry. [/QUOTE]
