All great suggestions, If its a Leupold , You should call the Service/ Tech department at Leupold and give them the serial number . This will prove its a real Leupold vari X 3 and not a Chinese copy. Many on the ,market , in a Box ,with paperwork in box . Looks real. Check rings , check bases for correct tightness of screws, and use the dollar bill test to make sure you barrel channel has sufficient clearance between the wood and the barrel. I had an issue like that back in the 90's with a Model 70 Super Grade, and the bedding under the action was just terrible from the factory . Glass bedding and Pillars did the trick. Send it to a competent Gunsmith/or a Bench Rest Gun Smith . Have it bedded and get a trigger job while its in the shop. Give him 5 Rds. of your favorite loads , and have him test fire it. It will make it better!!! Good luck, Lenny
