I like the old girl, but if she doesn't settle down, she's gonna have to stay home.


If it shot well in the past it could be a bad scope,loose scope rings/bases or a bedding issue. Check the barrel crown too.


Saved me some typing. If it used to be fine, look for something that has loosened, broken or swelled. Don't forget about bench technique, too.

Good luck with it.
