I have had this gun for almost a year and I finally took it out to the range for the first time. I had a box of 150 grain Federal Fusions. I had used my bore slighter and the first shot was one inch low and i/2 inch to the right at 50 yards. I took the target to 100 yards and fired a shot
and adjusted the scope. I then fired three more shots which were all over a paper plate. I readjusted my rest and the scope and fired three more shots. One again it
was about a four inch group. When I moved the adjustment right or left it would go about three times as much as it should. My shots varied up and down by about four inches as well.
When I got home I think I found the problem. My ring to base fit was pretty loose on the back ring and not much better on the front one. This is a pretty new Leupold M8 4X scope so I am sure its ok.
Anyway the rifle performed very well and ejected the cases briskly into a pile about six feet behind me. Time to try some reloads now and see if tightening the rings helped.
