I did have a moment of insanity when doing load development on my 300wsm.......re did bedding, checked action screw torque, checked ring screw torque......it ended up being base screws....... fark I was loosing my shit, was going from sub moa to double grouping then back to sub moa......once the base screws sorted ragged 1 hole groups.....had me fooked as ES was good and consistent but kept getting massive grouping variation....really started to doubt my ability....the base screws were so loose the scope literally wobbled when you tipped the rifle. sometimes the obvious isn't obvious.....

When I get handed a rifle that isn't grouping I rip the scope of and check the base screws first.
It is amazing how many times that is what it is.
Blue loctite on base screws is your friend.
Also I recheck after a scope mounting session and re torque all the cap and cross bolts after a few shots along with the action screws.
Peace of mind for me!
