*tim*,
I too have the trophy hunter (XP) in 300 win mag. I am only at about 20 shots, but similar deal. Three shots just under inch in the center of the bull, followed by a cool down, next three shots measure 1+3/4", followed by a cool down, then the POI will shift 2" for the next three with a 1+1/2" group. I suspect the bedding, but could be scope/rings/bases. Savage advertises pillars, but there is a lot of room for movement and the 300WM has the whomp to shake things up. I have had much better POI consistency and significant group shrinkage after an action is on bedded pillars and nestled in Devcon steel putty.
Blessings, Bill
