Unclenick has it right. First look to see what barrel contact there is with the stock. You want absolutely no barrel contact with the possible exception of one pressure point at the front of the forend. Check to see what contact there is. Eliminate all contact that isn't supposed to be there.

With thin barrels, I prefer to sand off the pressure point first and check my groups. Then, I'll experiment with adding it back using folded paper. If it turns out that it does need a forward pressure point, add it back with a drop of epoxy or construction adhesive (allow to fully cure before putting the stock back on).

Also, while you are fooling around with the barrel check the crown. You may have a bad crown and don't know it.
