Lots of good ideas.

I’d start with a really good bore cleaning. Unless your buddy shoots a LOT, it’s probably not a shot out barrel.

Check the tightness of the action screws. I like about 35 inch/pounds

Check the tightness of the base and rings. No need for “farmer tight here either”.

Try another scope
