Sounds like it went to Bubbas gun shop - if it still doesn't shoot, take it to a reliable 'smith and he can look at the crown, the stock, action screws, scope mounts, and even boresight the barrel.
This will give you answers rather than multiple trips to the range.
If you are a half decent shooter, lets assume you are, there is something very seriously wrong with this rifle.
And yes, check the scope - a Zeiss in that mag would sell for around $1000+ USED!!!
Buddy bought a nice used browning that shot like yours - after 5 boxes of shells and different tweaks, he took it in - 'smith determined there was a small barrel bulge (snow/mud in the barrel and fired) that was almost invisible to naked eye, but could clearly see it when scoped.
