This is typical "what's wrong with the rifle?" thread. Everybody has a potential answer, but my experience is that it's impossible to tell without the rifle in hand, partly because it could be so many things. And that's true here, of both rifles.

Nobody has mentioned scopes, which are always high on my list of potential problems.
