Eggzakly!!
Copper fouling would be subtle and incremental,and were not talking about a shift from .5 to 1MOA,this is a sub moa rifle going from .75 to 8.0 MOA!!
If that’s copper fouling then that’s in the realm of full on barrel obstruction,haha

I’m with SakoShooter,my money is on scope internals.
