[Wild Thing]

Thanks for the suggestions.  I've been swabbing the bore between each 3-shot group and clean it thoroughly at the end of each range session.  I did inspect the crown and it looks good.  I will go ahead and invert the recoil lug and see what happens.  I have two bases rather than a rail for the scope but I did torque all the screws with my Fat Wrench.  I also lapped the rings before mounting the second scope.  I torqued the action screws to 45 in-lbs but will try it at 35 and 40 as you suggested.

I think the key is going to be getting the action properly seated in the stock.  If I can do that without making it worse I think I'll be OK.  I just get a little nervous when I am removing material from the stock.

Thanks again.
