As I mentioned earlier - my JES 9.3 x 62 is very accurate, but my 19" Springfield 338-06 has never impressed, and has been erratic in accuracy. I've drawn an elk tag in AZ this year and hope to "bloody" the 338-06. After the last range session, I finally discovered the rear weaver scope base was drilled a little crooked and had a lot of stress on the scope. So I bedded both bases, lapped the rings true to one another, glassed the lower half of the rings to get them perfectly aligned, and smoothed some burrs off the inside of the top half steel rings. Rather than mount the previous scope, it now wears the Leupold 2.5x compact I had planned for it from the beginning. Heading to the range in an hour and hoping for some improvement and consistency. Will report.
