Hey guys,
Just wanted to report back that the loose ocular tightening ring may have been the culprit. I shot the rifle again and after some fouling shots it was acting like its normal self again. The only exception was that it still liked the TSX loads after the cleaning - go figure!
A likely really stupid question: how much can an ocular 'flop around'? I loosened the retainer ring on a Leupold last night and wiggled the ocular. Movement was barely perceptible. In fact the retainer ring was loose on a couple of rifles. I've always tightened them up when I see it but can't ever say my groups were wrecked - at least to my knowledge. I'm curious if others have noticed this phenomenon.
