[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 3088344, member: 68758"] Yep. As I asked above (and this isn't a criticism)- what is your experience shooting lightweight magnums? Shooting an 8 lb. heavy magnum accurately is not something that everyone can do. Even with the brake, that rifle punches hard- and many shooters develop an [I]unconscious [/I]flinch; jerking or pulling the trigger to one side without realizing it. For those inexperienced with this, having someone else drive the rifle can rule shooter error in or out... Check to make sure your action screws are torqued to spec, that you can slide a business card between the barrel and the stock full length, scope mount and rings also torqued to specs. Anything loose, will trash your accuracy. If everything is tight, and it still won't shoot swap out the optic with a known "good" one (assuming that's a new scope). Not common, but even some upper mid-tier scopes can be duds from the factory. Needless to say, a $100 Barska will have it's reticle banging around in the tube in short order. [/QUOTE]
