[QUOTE="JimmyCP, post: 1715922, member: 106166"] Check your torque on your rail and rings, if it's a free floating barrel run a dollar bill between it and the stock make sure the stock isn't touching it. Put a decent piece of card board "no pun intended" as tall as you can find to shoot at. Zero at 100 at a bullseye close to the top. Go out to 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and shoot at the bullseye WITHOUT ADJUSTING TURRETS FROM YOUR 100 YARD ZERO. Then you can actually see where your bullets actually hit and get an actual measurment on the drop. If all is shooting as should, draw 12x12 1 inch grid and shoot at the middle bullseye at 100 yards and run your turrets to see if there tracking at 1MOA and the back to zero. UP TO TOP, TO EACH CORNER AND BACK TO ZERO. 1MOA @100 can still make a decent shot out to 500-600 yards. It's beyond that when the rifle and bullet show what they are made of. If it's not any of the above, I would definitely run a scope down the barrel. Last time it wasn't any of the above on a rifle I shot, it looked like gator skin down the rifling. You may be getting that carbon fiber barrel shortly. [/QUOTE]
