[QUOTE="solohunter, post: 765628, member: 52502"] First I would put a new scope on it, I have had issues moving scopes from one rifle to another, second would be to check the barrel to make sure its not touching the forestock,, also make sure the stock to barrel screw is tight, slide a paper under it,, Third and hopefully not your problem is what I have with a new savage 308, it just hates factory ammo, ( two scopes later) seems the chamber lead in is just to long and the bullets jumping to get to the lands and they end up with a 2-3 inch group at 100, I am reloading the bullets seating them further out,,,, recommended case over all length was 2.810, I am sub inch groups now with COL at 2.880 Bullet is about .015 back from the lands as best I can tell,,, under 3 inchs at 300 on a no coffee day :) good luck.
