[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 4462543, member: 5958"] swap the scope out. Once dropped all bets are off, particularly if you are saying the rifle is spraying rounds, not shooting all to a pattern and that pattern is consistent. Scope and or rings are loose or the scope has failed. If the stock or barrel had some kind of defect, the defect would tend to be consistent. It isn't going to come and go, it would persist. From your explanation, the problem is illustrating itself by very inconsistent shot placement on target. When your Point of Impact ( POI ) is inconsistent you aiming hardware (could be you but not likely) is at fault. I bet you have a picatinny rail. take just the screw out of the ring and be positive there is zero play in the rail mount. Be sure the rail is securely mounted and there is zero movement in any direction. attach one ring to the desired slot. Tighten the screw, no scope. does the bottom half move or is it TIGHT. Repeat for other ring. Mount a new scope if you have one, but before you mount the old one take it into the most quiet place in your home and with the scope next to your best ear, tilt it so that objective lens is down and then back to up, listening for a noise however faint. If no noise, mount the old one. Range time. [/QUOTE]
