Well took your advise and here is what happened. Checked all things that could go loose and all things were good. Shot from 25 yards, about a 3 inch group, 50 yards a 4 inch group, 75 yards a 5 inch group( see a pattern here ?) and finally at 100 best we could do, off a bench, using a rifle rest, using factory and reloaded ammo was( drum roll) a 6 inch group. Not good enuff for us so we elected to have it sent back , the dealer where they bought it is going to handle it for them. Thanks again for you advise . Am looking forward to the continued good read on the board.
