You may be having problems because it is not bedded. Your problem is a classic case for it. You have all the signs, unless of course you are old like me and can't hold the damn thing still anymore. I consider it S.O.P. when I get a new rifle. I will do the Howa also.

Here are some pics of the trio of death. Top is the Howa. middle is my Browning A Bolt in 25-06, and the bottom is my brother in laws Rem in 22-250. I restocked the Brwng and bob's Rem with unfinished stocks from Boydes. I tried to reproduce the Browning high gloss on it. However it's really glossy, too glossy, so I will take some rottenstone to it so you don't have to wear shades when you shoot it. You could signal aircraft with it the way it is now.
