Belle44, thanks for the advise but I reload my own ammo. I had just used Remington bullets to use them up. I was then going to reload some Barnes, Hornady or Sierra bullets to see which would give me the best group. Maybe I should have reloaded some shells before bringing my rifle back.

As for my problem, someone told me it was the hinge pin but that doesn’t make any sense. The barrel and the scope are as one so what the heck does the pin have to do with this problem. I still think it’s the barrel...I returned the gun back to where I purchased it from. They have contacted Thompson Arms and I will find out Tuesday what they said. Thanks again..
