I managed to fire six 5 shot groups today. I think that the front screw on my front scope base may be bottoming-out on the barrel threads before becoming completely tight (didn't seem quite right when I installed the front extension base), as the groups were wandering to different points-of-impact. Will check on that tonight. Anyway, here's a scanned pic of the best group:

I replaced the screw in the front scope base, and it then tightened correctly.

alphapygmy sent me some mismatched Burris ring offset inserts (that I modified by applying tape to the inner surfaces to get them close to being a matched set) to alleviate a gross windage problem I had. It seems to be working OK. Only time will tell if the scope will retain it's POI as currently adjusted. I'm satisfied that I have a shooter - - now to get serious about load development. Here's a pic:
