It is random, my gut feeling is the scope is to blame, but I would have thought if it failed grouping would be even worse

I will change it and try again

I am happy with the scope mounting and the barrel is a fairly new Shilen



Lock the rifle in a vice, use a culminator to ensure there is no side to side movement as you apply pressure to the scope. If the bases do not fit the receiver perfectly the culminator will show the movement. Even with tight screws movement can occur if a less than optimal fit is achieved with the scope bases.
