Are you going to move away from 3 shot groups?
I suggest 9 shot or even more - if you end up at 6 shots and the rifle does the same, maybe it's not a flyer, that's just how the rifle shoots.
I chased the flyer in a Tikka for a while. Removed the stock bumps, new lug and some other things. Then I started 10 to 15 shot groups and the fliers were part of the big picture. Truth is, it's not a .2 or .3 rifle, it's just a MOA rifle over the 15 shots...and that is ok.
Also, I think one of my Lyman manuals has an article about shooting a group on a clean target and keeping it. Each subsequent trip to the range, overlay your new target on the old. It will show, over time, the true accuracy of the rifle through all conditions.
