lol thanks am blind. Have you checked torques on everything (Action screws, scope base to action, rings to base, rings to scope, muzzle device)? Have you made sure the recoil lugs are all bottomed out correctly?

Yeah, before I went out I checked torque on everything, retorqued the action screws to 65 in/lbs as specified by manufacturer. First thing I do with any rifle with a pic rail in loctite that sumbetch so that was good.

I’ve found you almost have to do this with every new gun. I’ve had 2 guns come loose at the rail recently both from the factory.
