....and we are talking here about a dramatic 8” shift in POI....I don’t get it?

A friend of mine came to me when his 3/4moa rifle suddenly became a 3moa rifle. I checked the scope mounts, checked the scope with my bore sighter, checked the crown, checked the action screws, and found nothing. When I removed the barreled action from the stock, the bedding area was soaked in G-96 Gun Treatment. He was caught in the rain, so he sprayed G-96 directly on the barreled action, and some ran into the bedding area. I cleaned up the stock and barreled action, reassembled, and once again, he had a sub moa rifle.
