Could be bedding/scope, or both. To isolate the problem you would have to be methodical and investigate causes of inaccuracy, one by one.

I have 2 omarks and both stocks look similar in the unmolested state as yours , only thing is the very front tip of your stock is missing there is normally a bolt under the tip your has been cut off when they fitted the tee slot under the tip looks like it was reshaped at the tip too .
Put your action back in the stock with the screws lose 1 turn and slide a paper under the barrel it should slide to about 1.5 to 2 inches before the square slot in stock easy as you may have to re position till you get it correct remove the paper and tighten the bolt at the rear first then the front as you tighten the front check with the paper, wipe out your stock channel with some polish or even steel wool very lightly just to clean up a bit .
what number is the flyer 1st or last makes a difference if its in the group its you

I would be interested in see some photos if you have some of what your explaining with the missing tip.
I think the flyer on the first target (tighter grouped one) was shot 3 or 4. honestly I no doubt pulled it.

Cheers mate, I am keen to ask if you reload your own bullets for the Omark? (.308)
If so, what combination works for you?

Mulder030,
If you blame yourself for the fliers then IMO you need to practice your follow through.

pomemax,
I could not for the life of me understand what the bolt between the fore end tip and the sling swivel was for.
Then my memory started working and I realised that it is for the Omark handguard :oops:
