Do you know the history on the gun from the person you purchased it from? It could be the reason he unloaded it. I hate to say it, but it may just end up as a rebarrel job.
Sounds like you've checked most of the obvious options. The scope is a definite option, but one cheap way to check is to put it on another gun and how well it does. Unless you're seeing some major inconsitencies, then that's probably out.
There's no reason that .244 shouldn't be a tack driver unless there's some kind of damage somewhere.
