I still would ck the scope out just by switching it. It's the easiest thing to do before you go to a rebedding job. You've got 3 shots in just over .5", then a monster flier. I don't think a bad barrel does that. I don't think bad bedding does that...but I think a scope can. Cripes, I only have one, maybe two, "bedded" rifles..ask JB about broken scopes, I read somewhere he's had quite a few. If I'm wrong, so be it, it's just so easy to eliminate.
