I would check the bedding first. There should be enough clearance between barrel and stock for a business card to pass freely. Other things to try would be checking the rings and bases to be sure a screw or two isn't loose, and then check the action screws. I usually shoot Savage rifles and they are famous for needing a thread or so taken off the screws to keep them from bottoming out. Also the scope could be part of the problem. If possible substitute a known good scope and try again. And check to be sure the recoil plug is not bottoming out.
