He means action screws.

When did you last deep clean the barrel McNotty?

I had a similar problem yesterday, my normally reliable .243 shot like a shotgun, ten shots were 4-5" all over the place. WTF? Ran a boresnake through it, immediately after it shot 3 into half an inch. Carried on and the groups opened up again and the point of impact was way over to the left without me touching anything on the scope.

Deep cleaned it yesterday, it was pretty bad. Will shoot it this morning, see if it worked.
