SNOWMAKER,
This is just a SWAG, but the bore might need a very thorough cleaning. I bend a Qtip so it will stay in the bore from the muzzle and about a quarter of an inch from the muzzle. Let a bright light shine on the Qtip and inspect the bore through a magnifing glass. this lights up the bore and lets you see everything. Good luck. [Smile] [Smile] [Smile]

Check the fore-arm and grip screws.

If the bore is clean, it may be the scope. Mount another scope of known reliability and shoot it again.

There is a good chance the barrel will need a thorough cleaning.
