Its hard to say with any certainty without seeing and shooting the rifle (and even then it's guess work), but it sounds like it may be an issue with the barrel getting hot.

Send one down range. Put a LOT of effort into making a good shot. Get a good rest and take your time. Then go put the rifle in the truck with the AC going. Let it cool down. Then shoot the same way. That's where I would start. If it still acts up come back and we'll try something else.

I wouldn't fool with the AC deal. Not worth it and if the barrel was scalded hot and the AC ice cold you could create some residual stresses in the steel.

Highly doubt it, but hell ya never know.
