Sounds like a ring and base problem to me as well. Changing scopes wont do squat if the bases and rings aren't properly installed and tight. A Schmidt and Bender on a world champion benchrest rig aint gonna shoot with loose or improperly installed bases or rings. If I had to guess it sounds a lot like it may have been the old long screw bottomed out before securing the base but felt tight trick. Usually also associated with the wrong screw in the wrong hole trick AKA the long screw in the front hole trick.
