Lots of good points and suggestions made but I'm beginning to think the problem is related to the point made above re the cheek weld. I need to get back out to the range to try it but the gun was sighted in using a lead sled rest and there is a cross bar that is in the way, the mag and pistol grip hits it so I'm in a unnatural position when shooting and sighting it in. Maybe that is causing the perceived issue.
