I don't see anything in your post as to which was your 1st, 2nd, 3rd shot.
Which way is it going - Top to Bottom or Bottom to Top?
Just a thought; but you weren't resting the barrel on the bags were you or how about resting the sling stud on the bag?
I have done about 18 of the 700 models and I always put 1 - 1 1/4" pad under the barrel, just in front of the R. Lug.
The only time that I have ever seen a rifle shoot a Vertical string is; when the barrel was resting on the bag, to much pressure at the forend of the stock or resting the sling stud on the bag. Not saying something else couldn't cause it, it's just that I haven't run across anything else.
Dan mention: Quote:
I would try loosening the rear screw a turn and shoot a couple groups. One group don't say much about how accurately the rifle is, or how well its bedded.
I would also try what he mention.
