What do you need to know?

I have one in 22 khornet.
I thought a new 14" twist barrel would help - still strings vertical. Tried several bullets, two scopes, and tried a fore-end that doesn't bear on the front of the receiver. Seems to be sensitive to how it's held on the bags. Any advice?

Yes the Martini actions are sensitive to how they are held
Can you show us a target?

Something is loose.
That was my first thought. Nope. Tried two scopes. Checked bases. Checked stock bolt. Checked fore-end tightness. Tried another barrel, too, with yet another scope. Thanks for offering a suggestion.

Tiratore, thanks for the dm,I think you should post that information in the thread to give everyone the bigger picture.
When trying to assist information is the key to getting good responses.
Ignition can cause vertical, ie weak firing pin spring.
But before replacing the spring, I would stop using the graphite in the necks and lightly crimp the bullet in place. Many found that crimping the bullet improved consistency.
What are the readings from your Garmin?
Did the groups change when the barrel was replaced?
Btw that’s a nice looking Martini.

Is there too much head space?
