Hi guys,
I have a new SA M1A Standard model with a Mccann's scope mount and a Bushnell 10x Mil dot scope on it . My problem is with a full mag, the first shot is 3" left and 3" up from zero, I adjust scope to center and by the end of the mag, I'm getting a decent 1" group.I fill the mag and it is back to 3" high and 3" left on the first shot with a fresh mag. My target started @ 30 yds then moved to 100yds. It happened twice at both distances.
The scope mount and rings were installed by a gunsmith with blue lock-tite. Thinking it might be the scope I switched scope & rings and the same thing happened, this time with a Burris Signature 3-9. The ammo used was surplus Portugiese.
One guy at the range suggested that it might be the gas plug, Could that be the cause?
Any suggestions are greatly appreicated
