re: Rifle group issues

How many rounds did you shoot? What did they use to clean it?
My routine is, shoot a bunch (500 rounds). Clean it real good. I never strip the copper out of the barrel. If they did, it could take anywhere from 1-50 rounds to get that copper back in the barrel and then it will group. Better barrels like Krieger, Rock, Bartlein, Brux take less time to this due to less imperfections.
If not:
Check the crown and look for any damage.
Take the action screws out.
Put the barreled action in the stock while holding the stock at a 45 degree angle.
Basically, you want the recoil lug to rest against the stock.
Re-install action screws and torque them to their specs. Not tight enough or whatever hand tight feels. Use a torque wrench.
Check scope and mounts to see if they are loose.
Lastly, used different ammo.
If all else fails, bed the rifle with some devcon and avoid this for the rest of time. And never let anyone clean your gun.

ANy store that cleans guns "for a small fee" is utilizing the least experienced employee.
This would often be the guy who can't seem to do anything else to add to the bottom line (like selling guns).

Oh, and don't let someone else clean you rifle. Very few people in a gunshop know wtf they are doing. Learn to clean your own shite and you are better off. That being said, shoot it some more. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.
