    Get someone else to shoot the rifle off solid rests. Most issues with rifle accuracy end up being the shooter

    Check the action screws, and rings screws are tight.

    Give the barrel a really good clean and try again...

    Re crowning is a good idea.

    Bedding idea good idea on just about any rifle. Some good videos if you want to give it ago. Search for Nathan Forster or Ballistics Studies, he has a 5 part video series.

    +1 for this. I bedded my 30-06 with his compound and followed his video instructions. Also gave him a call to clarify a few things. Top bloke. And it made a hell of a difference.
