Queston on loose actions screws

[Mrcalamiteh]

I took my rifle to the range for the first time today (savage 111, it was the combo deal with the cheap no-name scope) after buying it yesterday, and i was shooting groups just fine, but every four or five shots i would get a "flyer", only i would consistently hit in that same spot for another four or five shots. I was thinking this could be the scope or mounts, but after i got home i checked the action screws, and they were loose. Could this be causing it? or would you guys say it's still the scope/mounting
