K98 verticle stringing?

Don't take this the wrong way as I do not know your shooting style, experience or technique. And my suggestion very well may not be the cause as you say you grouped normally before shooting this particular group.

I am a rifle coach for a high school rifle team. If one of my team members brought me a target that looked like that I would tell him that it is a breathing issue. The shooter is breathing while they shoot.

So before you do anything drastic to the rifle, just make yourself aware of what you are doing before, during, and after you pull the trigger.

The 1st thing I did was headspace check and run a jag/patch through it and shoot it. Bore was dark but "looked" strong. I shot everything from a lead slead rest with 50lbs on it. 3 5 shot groups. 2 groups of surplus which I couldnt fit into one picture.....horrible. Then the last 5 shot group with PPU match 200gn the aim point was the blue pen X
more later

I understand what your saying but I was useing a lead sled with 50lbs of lead on it. I shot a 80 rnd xtc earlier that day and had my routine and eye sight doing well.
