@ 100 yards I can get 1 to 1.5.
1.5" @ 100yds just don't sound right for any varmint style rig. Definetly pull the scope and check the bases, then put extra care in mounting the rings and scope. Then check the crown as other's have said. Also, what are you shooting off of at the range ?

Re: .308?

Well there's your problem, "Speer 168"! Have you tried any other bullets yet? Depending on what Speer bullet you are using, this could be contributing to your in accuracy at longer ranges. Have you had success with this bullet in the past (.5, .75" groups at 100yrds)?
